COVID-19 vaccine distribution is ramping up in the area and local health care systems like UPMC and Geisinger are starting preparations to bring in the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
UPMC in the Susquehanna region has taken more of a phased approach, distributing vaccinations gradually starting at those 85 and older and now opening it up to 65 and older and to those aged 16 to 64 with chronic health conditions as described in the state Department of Health’s phase 1A guidelines alongside other local healthcare systems.
