DOH: Geisinger allowed employees’ kin to skip vaccine line

Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center is seen in a file photo. According to the Associated Press, the Geisinger system’s decision to give special access to employees’ relatives earned a rebuke this week from the Pennsylvania Department of Health, which said the health care giant shouldn’t have held vaccine clinics for eligible family members of employees. The AP story does not indicate which facilities were involved. Geisinger’s public vaccination program in the region has been operating from a facility in Jenkins Township.
