NORRISTOWN, Pennsylvania (WPVI) If you ve been trying to get the COVID-19 vaccine in suburban Philadelphia counties you may feel frustrated.
Currently, the whole Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is getting on average 175,000 doses a week from the federal government for roughly 12 million Pennsylvania residents. Many in southeastern Pennsylvania are feeling the impacts of the shortage.
In Delaware County, the mass vaccination site in Yeadon remains closed due to a lack of vaccine supply. I think we requested 3,000; I think we got 1,200. I mean we could do that in two days, said Delaware County Council Chairman Brian Zidek.
However, he says their Aston site at the Aston Community Center is open by appointment only, but there are 24 other local vaccine providers in the county like pharmacies and doctor s offices that offer doses. County officials don t have control over those locations or how many doses they receive.

ACMA report shows telcos supporting customers in financial hardship
A new report from the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) reveals more than 19,500 residential customers and 1,500 small business customers entered into a financial hardship arrangement with their telco in the 2019-20 financial year.
The report, which analyses telco data on customers in financial hardship arrangements, provides some indicator of the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic had an impact on telco customers, particularly small business.
Data shows there was a significant increase in the number of small business customers accessing telco financial hardship programs in March-June 2020, with the total level of debt from small businesses in financial hardship three times higher in June than during the pre-COVID-19 period of the financial year.
