Hospital leaders and other Summit County leaders talked about Phase 1B vaccine rollout and the need for patience as well as continued efforts by individuals to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
Summit County leaders outlined plans today for distributing COVID-19 vaccines to the next phase of eligible recipients.
The county at this point expects to receive a total of 5,750 doses for group 1B, which includes the elderly, those with certain medical conditions and school personnel. Those doses will be distributed among 11 different providers at 36 different sites located around the county.
The providers include local hospitals, pharmacies and the Summit County Public Health Department. Each location will get between 100 and 300 doses. Public Health Commissioner Donna Skoda says they’ll start administering them on January 21.

If an individual is vaccinated, how should COVID-19 protocols, including masking, affect them? That question was posed to Breckenridge Town Council members at a meeting Tuesday, Jan. 12.
Breckenridge Mayor Eric Mamula said he and other mayors and managers in the county also discussed that scenario at a meeting Thursday, Jan. 7, with the mayor calling the situation “a headache.”
“The science is saying, vaccine or no, you still need to wear a mask because you can still be carrying and can still be shedding the virus,” Mamula said about what was discussed at the meeting last week.
