An additional 203,089 Pennsylvanians became fully vaccinated last week, which is a quarter of the total of the 762,733 individuals fully vaccinated to date. An additional 958,165 individuals have now received one dose of vaccine. According to the CDC, Pennsylvania remains 41st for total doses administered per capita.
This week, Pennsylvania will receive 336,870 first doses, a 49% increase over last week, and 189,410 second doses of vaccine. This is due in part to expanding supplies of all vaccines, as well as the addition of the Johnson & Johnson single-dose vaccine, which began shipping this week.
Gov. Tom Wolf and the COVID-19 Vaccine Joint Task Force will announce a plan today to use the new doses of Johnson & Johnson to vaccinate teachers and school staff members so that schools can fully reopen. These will be administered by the National Guard at respected Intermediate Unit headquarters. Click here for more.
