Cindy Rodgers expected to receive her first dose of COVID-19 vaccine Thursday morning at the LECOM Center for Health and Aging. Instead, the 71-year-old retired North East School District teacher was among 375 people to be vaccinated at the Erie Bayfront Convention Center. I went to the LECOM Center and there was a sign on the door saying to go to the Convention Center, Rodgers said moments after getting her vaccine. So I hot-footed it down here. LECOM Health and the Erie County Department of Health moved Thursday s vaccinations to the Bayfront Convention Center as a test run for larger events that will be held in the future.
Janae Andrews didn t know when she might get the COVID-19 vaccine, since she is a healthy 30-year-old woman. Andrews, who recovered from COVID-19 about a month ago, received her first dose Friday morning during an expanded community vaccination clinic at the LECOM Center for Health and Aging, 3910 Schaper Ave. It is believed to be Erie County s first clinic that was open to anyone in Phase 1A of the state s COVID-19 vaccination plan. I am so excited, because my grandma is 70, said Andrews, who qualified in Phase 1A because the Beaver County woman works at the Erie-based Pitts Funeral Home. We live together and she s my best friend.
Saint Vincent Hospital has received more doses of COVID-19 vaccine, but they aren t enough for the Erie hospital to resume scheduling vaccination clinics. Allegheny Health Network, which includes Saint Vincent, has temporarily stopped scheduling vaccinations due to a lack of vaccine. Clinics already scheduled are continuing. Saint Vincent received 975 vaccine doses Tuesday, the Pennsylvania Department of Health reported on its website. It has received 9,750 doses since vaccine distribution started in early December. We did receive a tray (of vaccine this week) but it is tied to already scheduled appointments, Saint Vincent spokeswoman Monica Lewis said in a text. Other health-care organizations that have received COVID-19 vaccine are continuing their clinics but have not significantly expanded their lists for who can receive the vaccine. They continue to primarily vaccinate health-care workers and emergency medical technicians, though the Erie Veterans Affairs Medical Center is vaccinating its patients who are 75 and older.
Saint Vincent Hospital and UPMC Hamot have been vaccinating more health-care workers against COVID-19, including those who don t work for either health system. Both hospitals have held vaccination clinics that are open to nonaffiliated health-care workers, including dentists, school nurses, physical therapists and behavioral-health specialists. We have been vaccinating some of these independent health-care workers for the past week to 10 days, but we are increasing the number as we wind down vaccinating our own staff, said Steve Henderson, Saint Vincent s director of pharmacy. Medical offices, school districts and other health-care organizations have scheduled the vaccinations with the hospitals. At least 6,625 partial doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered in Erie County and 1,034 full, two-shot doses have been administered as of Friday afternoon, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Health.
