LEBANON COUNTY, Pa. — Nearly 3,000 doses of the Moderna shot will go into arms in Lebanon County through Friday this week as next week the county expects to give out 3,000 more.
A mass vaccination clinic opened Wednesday inside the old K-Mart at 1745 Quentin Road in North Cornwall Township.
"It's 125,000 square foot that we've leased here for the next 4 months," said Jamie Wolgemuth, Lebanon Co Chief Clerk/County Administrator, who added, "yesterday there was none of this in the building. Everything just came on pallets and had to be unboxed and assembled."
Officials say an e-blast was sent out to people who signed up for notifications and the 3,000 available slots filled up in 18 hours.
The clinic is being held on 1745 Quentin Road in North Cornwall Township.
