Katie Wait, Public Health Educator, says about the process, “It’s been a pleasure working with our partners
at UHS, who also are acting as the Regional Hub for Vaccine Distribution and Coordination. They have been
very supportive and have assisted in addressing the logistical concerns of a small Local Health Department
like ours. We are very excited to start administering vaccines to our community, and we’re grateful to our
partners for being able to make this happen.”
