Not Rocket Science in Prison Vaccination Rates
The Cambria County courthouse backs away from pre pandemic practices as prison staff vaccination lags spark questions about apathy and data accuracy. Warden Smith reports 26 percent of Cambria jail staff vaccinated, with DOC data showing 24.8 percent at SCI Somerset and 31.4 percent at SCI Laurel Highlands. Statewide rate sits at 21 percent, while inmates at Somerset facilities exceed staff vaccination levels. Correctional leaders stress personal choice but call for improved data, education, and broader vaccine uptake to protect staff, inmates, and the community.
