Pa.’s COVID-19 vaccine allocation creates ‘vaccine deserts’ in parts of Philly
Jason Laughlin, The Philadelphia Inquirer
From Broad Street to the Delaware River, a swath of densely populated South Philadelphia neighborhoods have no easy access to desperately needed COVID-19 vaccines.
“We’ve got old people from South Philly trying to fudge their addresses so they can go to other states and other parts of this state so they can get vaccinated,” said Joseph F. Marino, president of the advisory council at East Passyunk Community Center. He has struggled for months to find doses for seniors who were regulars at the center before the pandemic.
