Discussions about equity in health care are typically saddled with medical jargon and well-used statistics intended to raise alarm about the disparate outcomes of marginalized communities.
THE ISSUE
Gov. Tom Wolf reported Friday that Pennsylvania ranked 13th in the nation in first doses of COVID-19 vaccines administered; 32.4% of Pennsylvanians had received at least one dose; 1.92 million Pennsylvanians were fully vaccinated; more than 5.4 million vaccines had been administered; and more than 1.6 million seniors had received at least one dose.
In the battle to defeat COVID-19, we are making real progress via vaccination.
The nation had, by Thursday, âadministered 20 million shots in seven days,â President Joe Biden said Friday.
And Pennsylvania is climbing the state rankings for vaccines administered, which is both amazing and surprising, given the commonwealthâs slow and rocky start in the race to vaccinate.
