FAIRMONT â An abandoned storefront in the Meadowbrook Mall will soon be transformed into a COVID-19 vaccination mega-site.
WVU Medicine United Hospital Center, in conjunction with the Harrison County Health Department and Community Care of West Virginia, will open the former Elder-Beerman clothing store near Target on Feb. 10 where potentially thousands of doses of vaccines can be administered per day.
âThe hospital works closely with all the local health departments,â said Michael Tillman, president and CEO of UHC. âThe health departments and UHC wanted to have the capability to do large numbers of vaccines should we have that available. If you donât plan now and it becomes available, youâre sitting there without a plan.â
For nearly a year, COVID-19 has been making its mark on Ohio, sickening residents and claiming lives.
Throughout that period, state officials have made admirable efforts to keep the public informed. Gov. Mike DeWine has addressed Buckeye State residents at least weekly, and the Ohio Department of Health has made a wide variety of resources available online.
One thing state and county health officials have not done very well, though, is consistently report the number of people who have died while infected with the coronavirus.
With 88 counties to collect data from, of course there will sometimes be delays in updating state records and the tallies listed at coronavirus.ohio.gov. But when it takes days or weeks to align state and county figures – or when numbers released by a county never match the state’s data for that county at all – it becomes apparent that there is a problem with the reporting system.
