Pike County Commissioners - COVID-19 Update - March 19, 2021

As a direct result of our continuing advocacy efforts -- along with Senator Lisa Baker, and Wayne Memorial Community Health Centers (WMCHC) -- an increase in COVID-19 vaccines was allocated to WMCHC for use in Pike and Wayne counties.

Earlier this week, WMCHC and Wayne Memorial Hospital received 2,500 doses of the Moderna vaccine from the Pennsylvania Department of Health, their highest weekly allocation to date. 

WMCHC immediately opened clinics at the Pike County Training Center, in Lords Valley and at the former Rusty Palmer location at the intersection of Routes 6 & 652, near Honesdale.

According to Governor Wolf's field representative for Northeastern Pennsylvania, more clinics can be scheduled as the allocation increases and remains steady.

Second Dose Clinics

Wayne Memorial Community Health Centers recently announced second dose COVID-19 vaccine clinic dates for those who received a first dose on February 26 at the Pike County Training Center and March 4 at Texas #4 Fire Company. Please note the venue change for the March 4 individuals.

Please note that a Second Dose Clinic is currently scheduled for Saturday, February 20 at Delaware Valley High School for those individuals in Phase 1A who received their first doses during our recent trial-run clinic on January 23.

The County's Office of Emergency Management has maintained the registration list from the initial event, which will be used to validate access on February 20. Please bring your vaccine card and arrive at the same time that had been assigned to you for the January 23 clinic.  

Those who require transportation will again be served by the Pike County Human Services Department.

Township Office will Close to Public Due to Rising Covid-19 Cases

With the surge in COVID-19 cases continuing, starting Monday, December 7^th, the Delaware Township Office will close to the public until further notice.  All operations will continue, but access to the municipal building will be limited to employees.

Building and facility rentals by residents and organizations are also paused until otherwise determined by the Board of Supervisors.

To further support public health, the State Department of General Services is encouraging Pennsylvanians to add their phone to the fight against COVID-19 by downloading the COVID Alert PA app. The free and voluntary mobile app can notify those who opt-in if you have had a potential exposure to someone who tested positive for COVID-19. In addition, the app provides timely alerts that can help you get advice on how to help yourself and protect others as well as determine when to get testing. It can help reduce your risk of unknowingly spreading the virus to your friends, family, and larger community. The free app can be found in the Google Play Store  and the Apple App Store  by searching for "covid alert pa."
