Over 16,000 People Register for Vaccine Since Friday on Heritage Valley Website

(Moon Twp., Pa.) On Friday January 22, 2021 Heritage Valley Health System opened registration for those who fall into phase 1A to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.

A statement from Suzanne Sakson, Director of Marketing and Communications at Heritage Valley Health System,  stated that :

Heritage Valley Health System has had more than 16,000 individuals register for the COVID-19 vaccine since Friday, January 22.

We have scheduled three days for initial community vaccine distribution on Thursday, January 28 and Friday, January 29 at the CCBC Dome and Monday, February 1 at the former Heritage Valley Robinson location, near Staples. Initially we anticipate vaccinating approximately 500 individuals a day.

 We are awaiting receipt of the additional vaccine orders from the Pennsylvania Department of Health. As Heritage Valley receives vaccine, we will contact those individuals who have registered to schedule appointments for their first and second doses. Although Heritage Valley only has a small allotment of vaccine at this time, we are asking people to continue to register so that when vaccine is available, we can schedule quickly and efficiently.

The statement did not say how many  vaccines Heritage Valley has on hand or how many are expected to be arriving and when.
