The Washington County Board of Supervisors received an update on the county’s allotment of COVID-19 vaccine and other case statistics Tuesday.

County Public Health Administrator Danielle Pettit-Majewski explained that last Thursday the governor’s office informed them that they wouldn’t be receiving this week’s allocation of 300 vaccine doses as they hadn’t used 80% of the previous week’s allotment, due to the postponement of their first 65 years and older clinic in lieu of weather. Pettit-Majewski said the rescheduled clinic last Thursday went well, as they inoculated 350 residents, and Washington County Hospital gave 130 doses to Phase 1B priority groups last Friday, “After they took into consideration the doses that were given last week I got a call from the governor’s office yesterday morning and our vaccines will be delivered on Friday. So a lot of confusion, a lot of questions, ultimately to determine that we will be getting our vaccines. So I hope that clears up any confusion that people have or concern that people have.”

Supervisor Jack Seward, Jr. complimented Pettit-Majewski on the execution of last week’s mass vaccination clinic, and she said she looks forward to 30 degree temperatures for their next clinic on February 22nd. She also informed the supervisors that as of Tuesday morning the county has one long-term care outbreak, three residents hospitalized for COVID-19, and one additional death in the past week for a total of 41.
