Vaccinations from the Allegheny County Health Department are progressing as shipments from the state stabilize, according to county health director Dr. Debra Bogen.
Over 53,000 people have been vaccinated by the Department, according to Dr. Bogen at Wednesday's county briefing.
She says supply is improving from the state health department.
"We have seen a stabilization of the vaccine supply from the Commonwealth. While the quantities of vaccine we're receiving fall short of the demand, communication and actual delivery of the vaccines from the Pennsylvania Department of Health is improving," said Bogen.
