A vaccination site in Luzerne County is set to open Tuesday at Hanover Area Junior-Senior High School. By Monday morning, all appointments were filled.
Appointments for COVID-19 vaccination clinics at Hanover Area High School this week were booked by last Friday, even before they were publicized, frustrated readers said Monday.
Walmart will host COVID-19 vaccine clinics at Hanover Area High School starting this week, the school district superintendent confirmed on Saturday.
The state Department of Health recently posted a file on its COVID-19 vaccine distribution page listing shipments of the vaccine manufactured by Pfizer for the week of March 1, and the list of shipments included 1,170 doses for Walmart for a clinic at the high school.
Hanover Area Superintendent Nathan Barrett on Saturday said the first three clinics are scheduled for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, with three more set for March 30 through April 1.
Barrett said Walmart representatives told him they wanted a centralized location thatâs handicap-accessible, and they would provide a toll-free number to schedule a vaccination in an effort to assist members of an older population who qualify for a vaccination during Phase 1A of the stateâs rollout but who might not be technologically savvy to do so online via computer.
