First responders lined up Saturday for a free COVID-19 vaccine clinic inside the theater annex of Bangor Area High School in Upper Mount Bethel Township, sponsored by the Mt. Bethel Pharmacy and Wind Gap Community Pharmacy.
A second clinic is being scheduled for Feb. 13 for the first responders to get their second dose, and possibly to offer the vaccine to people in Phase 1B of Pennsylvania’s vaccination protocol if cleared to do so by the state, according to Barbara Meehan, who handles marketing for the pharmacies.
