State Forming Task Force To Get People Vaccinated

UNDATED (AP) – The Wolf administration and a bipartisan group of state lawmakers are forming a vaccine task force that will brainstorm ways to get COVID-19 shots into Pennsylvanians’ arms more rapidly. A persistent lack of supply and the state’s laggy distribution system have slowed efforts to vaccinate more than 4 million Pennsylvania residents who are currently eligible for the vaccine. Gov. Tom Wolf said Tuesday that Pennsylvania needs to do a “better job” of administering the shots. Meanwhile, the state Health Department has unveiled a new vaccine eligibility tool on its website, called “Your Turn.”
