In a recent news release the Bucks County Health Dept. announced three, new public vaccination sites to open the week of February 14th at the Bucks County Community College’s three campuses in Bristol, Newtown and Perkasie.
Among the comments in the release was a quantification of some of the systemic inequities created by the Wolf Administration (Comment: for such a supposedly smart guy, he has done some things very unintelligently!). At last report, Pennsylvania ranked #41 in vaccine delivery efficiency of 50 States.
“Bucks County has 4.9 percent of the state’s population, but has received only 3.1 percent of the vaccine doses, Harvie said – 75,700 doses out of 2.4 million distributed statewide, excluding Philadelphia. The county, though its health department, has received only about 14 percent of the county’s allotment, with the rest going to hospitals, medical practices and pharmacies.
"The commissioners said Bucks County has administered its doses more efficiently than the state as a whole. Throughout Pennsylvania, 57 percent of the vaccine sent by the federal government to the state has been used, while 80 percent of the vaccine sent by the state to Bucks has been administered.”
