[Dr. Rachel Levine @SecretaryLevine]

We are committed to ensuring that vaccine is getting to Pennsylvanians as quickly as manufacturers get it to us. Both of these partnerships will help vaccinate most vulnerable residents + people who care for them more quickly so that we can move to other groups in our communities

[PA Department of Health @PAHealthDept]

Today @SecretaryLevine announced that the commonwealth has activated Phase B of the federal Pharmacy Partnership for Long-Term Care Program, to expand its mission to include personal care and assisted living facilities, among others, throughout Pennsylvania.

[Dr. Rachel Levine @SecretaryLevine]

We are working on ways to increase access to #COVID19 #vaccine + pharmacists already play an important role in making sure Pennsylvanians are protected. Pa'ians continue to play an essential role in preventing the spread of COVID-19 by masking up, washing up + social distancing.

[PA Department of State @PAStateDept]

As part of the effort to roll out the COVID-19 vaccine, Gov Wolf has approved a temporary waiver allowing pharmacists licensed by the @PAStateDept to order & administer COVID-19 vaccines without a physician’s order when vaccines are available to the public.https://t.co/rplwx8seJB

[Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro]

There are simple steps you can take to protect yourself and your loved ones from getting sick with COVID-19.

[PA Department of Health @PAHealthDept]

The #COVID19 vaccine will NOT give you #COVID19. Having symptoms after you get a vaccine is normal + sign your immune system is learning to fight the virus.

As #COVID19 remains a threat in our communities, we need to take precautions to keep safe by monitoring for symptoms, finding a testing site near to us if we have symptoms and staying home if we are sick. We want Pennsylvanians to know that if they need a test, one is available.
