COVID-19 vaccination eligibility expands in Philadelphia and New Jersey
Share:
PHILADELPHIA Philadelphia officials announced Wednesday that it is expanding its vaccine eligibility to residents 65 years and older.
The Philadelphia Vaccine Advisory Committee recommended the change to the Philadelphia Phase 1b eligibility criteria. Previously, eligibility by age criteria for Philadelphia Phase 1b was only those who were 75 years or older.
This change is possible because of the increased number of vaccine doses coming into the city, officials said.
The change brings the city s vaccine distribution program into line with the surrounding counties and states. It is effective immediately.
Those who are aged 65 or older are encouraged to register on the City s Vaccine Interest form or by dialing 3-1-1. All of the COVID-19 vaccine clinics in Philadelphia are by appointment only.
