PA to Make Every Adult Vaccine-Eligible April 19

Every adult in Pennsylvania will qualify for COVID-19 vaccines starting April 19, and emergency responders, grocery workers and others will be able to set up shots immediately. Acting Health Secretary Alison Beam said the new timeline is possible because the state’s rate of vaccinations has accelerated. Starting today, vaccine appointments are being expanded to include police, corrections officers and other law enforcement; volunteer and professional firefighters; grocery employees; and food and farm workers.
