Schuylkill County Office of Emergency Management

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.  Historic records of vaccination have been added; however, it was necessary to post multiple files to speed loading of the data.  Each can be access and downloaded if you choose.

We suggest that anyone seeking a vaccination for COVID-19, register with one of the three health care networks, Lehigh Valley Health Network , Saint Luke’s University Health System, and Geisinger Health System which operate hospitals within Schuylkill County.

Geisinger Saint Luke’s or Saint Luke's Miners sign up at Saint Luke's MyChart or call 866-785-8537 and press Option 7.

Geisinger Health System sign up at https://www.geisinger.org/mygeisinger or call 570-284-3657.

At this time, the supplies of vaccines are limited and the health networks are following the guidance in the state’s plan.  We encourage everyone to continue taking all the precautions while the vaccine production is ramped up and supplies become more readily available.
