Mayor Jim Kenney says health department must make changes, produce report on Philly Fighting COVID

Farley is taking full responsibility for the now-failed partnership between the city and Philly Fighting COVID. Ultimate, the responsibility for that goes to me. The report will outline more about the process, but ultimately I take responsibility for that, said Dr. Farley. The report he is referring to was specifically requested by Mayor Jim Kenney on Friday, who has directed the Philadelphia Department of Public Health to take a number of corrective steps following the fallout with Philly Fighting COVID s vaccine distribution. On Friday morning, Kenney sent a letter to Farley directing the department to host its own clinics and produce a public report within 30 days detailing how the organization came to work with city.

Philly Fighting COVID CEO Andrei Doroshin gave vaccines to 4 friends, claims doses were about to expire

Doroshin said he stands by his decision. I understand I made that mistake. That is my mistake to carry for the rest of my life. But it is not the mistake of the organization, Doroshin said. Doroshin also claims he had no inside connection to City Hall and that his company first started with COVID testing and before trust was built with health officials. Because we re such nerds we figured all the software stuff out before anyone else did. The Trump administration really screwed it up because they never developed any software for this, said Doroshin. Lynn Newbould, of Newtown, Bucks County, wonders if one of those vaccine doses could have been administered to her 68-year-old husband Bill.

Philadelphia let ‘college kids’ distribute vaccines. The result was a ‘disaster,’ volunteers say. Antonia Noori Farzan © Rachel Wisniewski/For the Washington Post People wait in an observation area after receiving a coronavirus vaccine at the mass-vaccination site set up by Philly Fighting COVID at the Pennsylvania Convention Center on Jan. 15. Philadelphia is home to some of the most venerated medical institutions in the country. Yet when it came time to set up the city’s first and largest coronavirus mass vaccination site, officials turned to the start-up Philly Fighting COVID, a self-described “group of college kids” with minimal health-care experience.

Philadelphia: COVID-19 Vaccines Rolling Out To Philly-Area LGBTQ Organizations

By Sebastian Fortino PHILADELPHIA LGBTQ health organizations in Philadelphia have begun to vaccinate staff for COVID-19 and are eager to expand their reach. The Mazzoni Center, whose staff serves 7,600 patients, has inoculated close to 100 employees after receiving their first batch of vaccines, and they anticipate receiving another large shipment by last Tuesday. Subscribe We are using a phased approach to prioritize order of vaccinations per city guidelines, said Larry Benjamin, Director of Communications at Mazzoni Center. Phase 1 eligible staff includes the staff and management of Prevention, Care Services and the Health Center because they have direct patient/client contact. Phase 2 eligible staff include staff who do not have direct patient/client interaction and/or who work remotely. Phase 3 will be for Mazzoni Center patients. We have already started vaccinating patients who are health care providers and will continue to do so.
