The Pfizer has been approved, and is being shipped out to medical facilities across the country, and Moderna is awaiting their official approval.

Donna Skoda is the commissioner of the Summit County Health Department, and she joined the Ray Horner Morning Show to share her expertise on the rollout of the vaccine. Skoda says that while the local health departments have not arrived yet, the medical facilities are slowly receiving the supply and training the staff in order to safely execute the inoculations. While some polls showed close to half of Americans were skeptical about taking a vaccine, Skoda says trust has increased as the virus rages on.

While there is hope with vaccines, Skoda urges the residents of Summit County to stay the course and avoid gatherings during the holidays.
