The BCHD began vaccinating county residents who are 80 and older Jan. 12. Lisa Younts, the department’s administrator and director of nursing and vital records, said the department staffed the clinic entirely with volunteers. The department started the day with 600 doses of Moderna’s vaccine. She said additional shipments are expected every Monday and that clinic hours will remain fluid until the department knows how many doses it will receive each week.
