Department of Health Brings Hepatitis A Vaccines to Johnstown CCC
December 05, 2019 12:00 AM
On Nov. 22, the Pennsylvania Department of Health (DOH) came to the Johnstown Community Corrections Center to provide Hepatitis A vaccines to the reentrants and staff. This service was set up by Center Director Matthew Helsel and was free of charge. Some of the reentrants were already vaccinated when they were committed to the various SCI's; many others, however, did get the vaccine. The employees from the DOH will return on Dec. 20 to vaccinate anyone that is new, if they are interested, as well as anyone who thought about it but didn't do it in November. This will be a monthly event at the JCCC and will continue to be free of charge.
