In all, more than 238,000 shots were administered at the Lancaster County Community Vaccination Center between its opening on March 10 and its closing on June 30.

The vast majority — well over 90% — were Pfizer doses, which require two doses for full vaccination. The center also administered small numbers of the two-dose Moderna vaccine and the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

The vaccination center, which had already been downsized, will be dismantled fully in coming days. The center occupied a vacant Bon-Ton store that Park City had planned to demolish to make way for a pair of free-standing restaurants; LNP reports those plans are being reconsidered, but there is no indication of what other use the site may be put to.
