Tuesday’s expansion of eligibility for Pennsylvanians to receive a COVID-19 vaccine has left many state residents asking “How can I get the vaccine?”
The answer is not clear-cut, and involves a lot of waiting.
On Tuesday, the Pennsylvania Department of Health expanded the list of eligible recipients of the COVID-19 vaccine to include more than just healthcare workers.
Now, all adults older than 65 years are eligible for the vaccine. Meanwhile, Pennsylvanians aged 16-65 with certain pre-existing conditions can receive one of the two COVID-19 vaccines: Either the Pfizer vaccine or the Moderna vaccine.
The qualifying pre-existing conditions include cancer, chronic kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and down syndrome. It also includes heart conditions such as heart failure, coronary artery disease or cardiomyopathies.

No tree sparkling with holiday joy. No candlelight Christmas Eve service to remind me of the true meaning of Christmas. No grandchildren tearing open fancy wrapped gifts before enjoying the traditional turkey dinner. And no travelling to visit family members who are homebound to make sure they weren’t alone on this Christmas Day.
But there was love… an abundance of love from everywhere … that gave me strength, determination and hope that I could beat this coronavirus that was wrecking my body like no other illness has ever done.
It wasn’t easy and there were times when I cried reading in The Express of COVID deaths of local folks… some dear friends of mine who died from this horrible disease that has invaded the world.
