Vaccination data - using the latest population statistics
Schuylkill County Emergency Management has been tracking the percentage of Schuylkill residents vaccinated on a weekly basis (or as often as the state releases the data). This is accomplished by accessing public data released by the PA Department of Health. Through the efforts of our Office of Senior Services, many community partners, the health care networks serving our county, corporate pharmacies such as CVS, Rite-Aid, Topco and Wal Mart, as well as our local, neighborhood pharmacies, most of our most vulnerable population has been vaccinated. If we are to bring this pandemic emergency to a conclusion, it is imperative that we increase the number of individuals who have been vaccinated. The chart below shows the number and percentages of individuals vaccinated by age group. We will continue to update these statistics as the state releases data and additional age categories are added to those eligible for the vaccine.
