The accelerated phased roll-out schedule is as follows:
March 31: Law enforcement, firefighters, grocery store workers, food and agriculture workers became eligible for the vaccine.
April 5: All residents in Phase 1B, which includes postal, public transit and manufacturing employees, will be eligible to start scheduling vaccination appointments.
April 12: All residents in Phase 1C, which includes workers in transportation and logistics, water and wastewater, public health, finance and construction, can start scheduling vaccination appointments.
April 19: All residents 16 and older can start scheduling vaccination appointments.
Pennsylvania currently has no statewide vaccine sign-up system. Those in Fayette County, however, can use the county’s registry at fayettecountypa.org to sign up for an appointment. The county is working with WVU Medicine Uniontown Hospital, Highlands Hospital and partner pharmacies to offer vaccines around the county.

Pennsylvanians who have grown frustrated about navigating the stateâs decentralized system in search of the COVID-19 vaccine could have an alternative.
A new bill introduced Monday in the state House of Representatives seeks to create a centralized COVID-19 vaccination registry for people who want to get the vaccine.
The âCOVID-19 Vaccine Registry Actâ would require the Pennsylvania Department of Health to maintain a database where residents could schedule a vaccine appointment for themselves, their spouses or significant others, and their families.
Vaccine providers would be required access the registry and prioritize registrants for scheduling appointments, which would prevent people from spending hours trying to find and sign up for available appointments.
