COLUMBUS, Ind. — Cummins Inc. has vaccinated “several hundred” employees and eligible dependents against COVID-19 over roughly the past week as the company prepares to hold a mobile vaccination clinic at its manufacturing plant in Walesboro.
Last week, Cummins officials confirmed that the Columbus-based company had received 2,000 doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine and started vaccinating on-site employees and eligible dependents at the Cummins LiveWell Center, 806 Jackson St., this past Thursday.
Employees working remotely in Indiana were expected to be able to start signing up for vaccination appointments on Wednesday, Cummins officials said.
Cummins Chief Medical Director Dr. Bob Chestnut said Tuesday that vaccinations had been running smoothly at the Cummins LiveWell Center, where vaccines are being administered on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
