To counter what the county health director called the continuing “stubbornly high” number of COVID-19 cases, Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald has asked that every company and organization require their employees to be vaccinated by Jan. 1.
“It’s been almost a year since vaccines have been available … and we know how effective they have been in preventing death, preventing hospitalization and keeping us healthier,” Mr. Fitzgerald said at a county press conference Wednesday. “It is time for everybody to get vaccinated.”
