In Blair County, there are now more COVID-19 vaccination clinics. Blair County Director of Public Safety Mark Taylor spoke to the county commissioners earlier this week, telling them that while it may not be happening as fast as everyone would like to see it happen, it is happening… Blair County is getting vaccinated. Conemaugh Nason Medical Center in Roaring Spring, Penn Highlands Healthcare network, Encompass Rehabilitation Hospital, and the Van Zandt VA Medical Center are all now holding almost daily vaccination clinics. In addition,
UPMC Altoona is also now administering about 200 shots daily at the Station Medical Center. Taylor told county leaders that now, with the approval of Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine, he believes even more vaccine will become available in Blair County, and when that happens, he wants to move forward with plans already in place to open up a public vaccination clinic at the Blair County Convention Center.
