PITTSBURGH — Washington County State Representative Tim O’Neal wants the Pennsylvania National Guard to help distribute and administer the COVID-19 vaccine. O’Neal is asking other lawmakers to co-sponsor his resolution. If passed, the bill would require the National Guard to have a vaccination site up and running in every county in the state within 45 days. The Guard would be required to support local health officials with transporting the vaccine. “The guard has the infrastructure, human capital and logistics to support an efficient, timely vaccination program,” O’Neal said in a news release. O’Neal tells WJPA news that he hopes the measure will move to the senate by the week of February 22 and be on Governor Wolf’s desk by March 1. He says the governor’s office has said they are open to the idea.
