Bedford County Vaccine Distribution 10:59 pm
120 Faculty members from the Everett Area School District were set to receive the COVID-19 vaccination Tomorrow, but that’s no longer happening.
Superintendent Dr. Danny Webb tells me the district had been working with the Bedford Family Health Center over the last two weeks, setting up the vaccinations to happen Tomorrow.
Friday is an in service day, meaning faculty could still be vaccinated without needing to close the school for an additional day. Webb tells me the vaccinations are important for protecting teachers, staff and students and it would
help the district return to more in person instruction.
Waiting lists are long in some cases, but Bedford County residents who are eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine are finding places to get their shots, local officials say â even if it means holding clinics outside of normal business hours.
The latest of these will be this weekend, where Bedford Family Health Center will hold a clinic on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Bedford Middle School.
The vaccinations are only for those who fit into the Department of Healthâs Phase 1A of the rollout. Those wishing to receive the vaccine must have an appointment, and no walk-ins will be permitted.
Time is running out for those in the first phase of COVID-19 vaccinations to get their shots, said William Kurtycz, CEO of the Hyndman, Bedford and Richland Health Centers.
