Schuylkill County Office of Emergency Management

NOTE:  The vaccination data reported on July 9, 2021 represents a correction for previous miscounts of vaccination data tabulated by the Pennsylvania Department of Health.

Schuylkill County Emergency Management has been tracking the percentage of Schuylkill residents vaccinated on a weekly basis.  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.  We encourage each of you to consult with a trusted medical professional and consider registering for a vaccine.  We are confident that the current supplies of vaccine will ensure a timely appointment.  We all want to get back to some degree of normal as the fair weather approaches;  however, we need to avoid a resurgence of this disease as we move toward the fall and a return to school and work.
