KATIE BLACKLEY / 90.5 WESA The Allegheny County Health Department reports that some 4,000 county residents have received their first doses of the coronavirus vaccine. More than 41,000 doses have been distributed statewide, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Health. The vaccine is a two-dose regimen, so those who have received it won’t reach full immunity until early next year. While most of the vaccine distribution is being done through area hospitals, the county health department says it received its first allotment Wednesday morning, which it will distribute to county medical employees. This includes staff at the county jail and the Safe Haven Hotel—a county-run facility that provides emergency housing to those who have been exposed to the coronavirus, or are ill with COVID-19.
