LOCK HAVEN UPMC intends to open a community COVID-19 vaccine clinic in Clinton County next Wednesday for those who are age 85 and over.
But it is by appointment only, and those who get the shot will have received a phone call to confirm and schedule, UPMC officials emphasized.
It’s the health system’s way to get people vaccines that need them amid a shortage of the shots.
This past week, UPMC began rolling out community vaccine clinics – and yesterday in Potter Couunty – distributing 326 vaccinations and counting in Williamsport and Wellsboro.
“Since the arrival of the first vials of the COVID-19 vaccine in December, UPMC has worked tirelessly to coordinate the logistics involved in vaccinating the most at risk populations as efficiently as possible with the resources we have,” said Steve Johnson, president, UPMC in the Susquehanna Region.
