The Vaccinate Lancaster Covid-19 community vaccination center at Park City administered its 150,000th vaccine dose on Thursday.

The recipient was Shannon Edwards of Mountville. Vaccinate Lancaster posted about the milestone on Lancaster County government social media Thursday evening.

It comes less than two weeks after the center's 100,000th dose, which was administered on Sunday, April 18.

The center recently expanded its walk-up appointment availability and is making other efforts to offset an ebb in community demand for vaccination — a slackening that is being seen statewide.

As of Thursday, 361,187 vaccinations had been administered in Lancaster County, according to the state's tally, resulting in 69,961 partly vaccinated individuals and 150,971 fully vaccinated ones.
