The Bucks County Commissioners have approved a contract with a new vendor to provide COVID-19 vaccination and testing services in 2022.
At their recent meeting, the commissioners – two Democrats and one Republican – voted to hire Upper Southampton-based JVRX LLC, which does business as Little Big Health Solutions, to provide COVID-19 vaccinations and testing services. The county plans to spend just over $3 million through federal American Rescue Plan Act money as part of the contract that runs from Monday, January 3 to September 30, 2022.

Bucks County’s existing contract with AMI Expeditionary Healthcare, which the county began using for vaccinations in early 2021, concludes at the end of this year.
The county health department has also administered vaccinations, but AMI Expeditionary Healthcare had been used to scale up the operation.
With the change in vendor and the new year, the county has announced some changes to their vaccination clinics.
