Bucks County will extend their contract with a Virginia company that has been running four of the county government’s mass vaccination clinics.
The Bucks County Commissioners on Wednesday unanimously approved a contract increase and extension with AMI Expeditionary Healthcare to continue their services from May 1 to July 31 for $12.5 million, which is funded through grants from the federal government. The previous agreement was set to expire at the end of the month.
