MANSFIELD — Richland County officials are slowly chipping away at the goal to vaccinate as many local residents as possible against the COVID-19 virus.
This past week 580 people were vaccinated at the two drive-thru COVID-19 clinics at the Richland County Fairgrounds. Wednesday it was 250 people, while Thursday it was 330.
Here’s the schedule this week for the Drive-Thru COVID-19 vaccination clinic at the Richland County Fairgrounds and the walk-up clinic at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Bellville. Some changes were made due to a limited supply of Johnson & Jonson vaccine this coming week.
