HARRISBURG, Pa. Even as vaccines become available in prisons and county jails, a majority of inmates are choosing not to get one.
Jails are known as COVID-19 hotspots where the virus can spread through communal spaces and shared cells.
Yet at Lancaster and Dauphin County Prisons, which both held their first vaccine clinic this week, only about one quarter of inmates volunteered to be vaccinated.
At Lancaster County Prison, 163 of the nearly 700 inmates got vaccinated on Tuesday, according to Warden Cheryl Steberger.
At Dauphin County Prison, about 220 people signed up but only 150 people ended up getting vaccinated on Wednesday out of more than 900 inmates, according to Director of Corrections Brian Clark.
