Heritage Valley Health System today released 2,300 COVID-19 vaccine scheduling slots to members of the community who had registered with the Health System and fall within the modified Phase 1A group, as defined by the Pennsylvania Department of Health. This first wave of scheduling focused on individuals 80 years of age and older who reside in the Health System\u2019s service area.<\/p>\n

Heritage Valley launched a COVID-19 vaccine registration website and phone number on Friday, January 22. To date, nearly 20,000 individuals have registered for the vaccine. Individuals who fall into the modified Phase 1A category, people over the age of 65 and those ages 16 \u2013 64 with serious health conditions that put them at greater risk for complications from COVID-19, are encouraged to register. To properly assess this segment of the population, Heritage Valley is consulting with each patient\u2019s primary care physician to assist with prioritization.<\/p>\n

The 2,300 scheduling slots released today are for COVID-19 vaccination clinics scheduled on Thursday, January 28 and Friday, January 29 at the Community College of Beaver County Dome, 1 Campus Drive, Monaca, PA. Additionally, vaccination clinics will be held on Monday, February 1 and Monday, February 8 at the former Heritage Valley Robinson location next to Staples, 6521 Steubenville Pike, Robinson Township, PA. Only individuals who have scheduled an appointment can receive the vaccine on these dates. Walk-in appointments are not available.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are keenly aware of the strong desire among the community to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. That is evidenced by the overwhelming response to the vaccination registration we launched last week,\u201d said Norm Mitry, President and CEO, Heritage Valley Health System. \u201cWe chose to initially focus on the elderly and most vulnerable segment of the population in our service area, in accordance with the PA Department of Health guidelines.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are ordering vaccine on a regular basis to vaccinate as many patients as possible,\u201d said Dr. Michael Cratty, Chief Medical Officer. \u201cAs vaccine is received, we will schedule additional vaccination clinics and open more scheduling slots to those who have registered with us.\u201d<\/p>\n
