Heritage Valley Health System has expanded its schedule of COVID-19 vaccination clinics as it received an increased supply of vaccines from the Pennsylvania Department of Health. Clinics are held in Robinson Township, at the former Heritage Valley location next to Staples, as well as the CCBC Dome.
Effective the week of March 29, Heritage Valley will begin sending email invites to individuals in Phase 1A ages 16-64 with certain high-risk conditions who live in the Health System’s service area or have a Heritage Valley physician.

Heritage Valley is committed to getting "shots in arms" and will continue to schedule as many individuals as possible to receive the vaccine. There continues to be an overwhelming interest in receiving the vaccine and the Health System appreciates your patience as it strives to deliver a vaccine to everyone who wishes to receive one.
Upcoming dates for 1st dose vaccine clinics for active scheduling are as follows:
-
CCBC Dome: March 31, April 5, 7, 10, and 20
-
