DUNMORE, Pa. The phone has been ringing off the hook at DePietro s Pharmacy in Dunmore with people looking to get the coronavirus vaccine.
Pharmacists have had to tell people it s not here yet.
Richard Jones was one of many people hoping to get the shot now that the state has opened vaccine eligibility to people 65 and older and those with severe health conditions. There s supposed to be six or seven different sites in the greater Scranton area to get the shot. Nobody seems to have the shot, which is kind of disappointing, Jones said.
