Dept of Health COVID vaccine phase update...

Today DOH released the latest revised vaccination plan that includes people who are 65 and older + those 16-64 with certain underlying medical conditions that make them more vulnerable to the disease. This expands vaccination eligibility to ~3.5 million Pennsylvanians.

You can complete the short vaccine eligibility quiz to determine if it's your turn to get vaccinated: https://www.pa.gov/guides/get-vaccinated/

If it's your turn, view the interactive map to find a vaccine provider + schedule an appointment directly with that provider.
