Peters said of last Saturday: "It was like a conveyor belt circle around the building. We had staff and volunteers assist. This time some of the hospital board members volunteered their time. Some retired R.N.'s in the community have come out to help when we have clinics. We had close to 20 out distributing vaccines last Saturday."

Peters said people have to register before they come to the clinics.

"We are proud of what we are doing," she said. "Greene County is a great community. Many people have stepped up and assisted throughout the Pandemic. We are grateful to the people involved."
