As the leading COVID vaccinator in central-eastern Pennsylvania, St. Luke's University Health Network is proud to announce that it has administered its 50,000th vaccination. Currently the network is vaccinating 3,000 people a day at 11 hospital-based sites across the greater Lehigh Valley. This approach makes getting the vaccine safe for anyone who experiences an adverse reaction since each hospital is equipped with a fully-functional emergency department. St. Luke's vaccination program, which runs seven days a week, has helped to make Lehigh and Northampton counties among the top five Pennsylvania counties with the highest vaccination rates. (Northampton County – 11.6% of the 18+ population; Lehigh County – 11.3%.)
