Pamela Reynolds says
I look at the county Covid report daily. Now that we are in the vaccination mode I would like to see daily report of vaccination supply and numbers of injections as well as sites and site contact information. We are in the dark about when and where we can get vaccinations. I am in the 1C category, but have yet heard back from any sites that I have registered with.
