HARRISBURG â Pennsylvaniaâs recent expansion of who is eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine was coupled with frustration and confusion as people clamored to sign up for appointments, only to be disappointed by a cumbersome, fragmented system.
By the end of this week, Pennsylvania will have received about 1.5 million doses since it started vaccinating health care workers Dec. 14. As Gov. Tom Wolf pointed out this week, the state needs at least 8 million doses to cover the two-dose regimen for everyone in Phase 1A, which was recently expanded to include people older than 64 and those over 16 with certain medical conditions.
Without more supply, could a streamlined, centralized system for scheduling vaccine appointments make the process a little easier on the public?
