Share:
PHILADELPHIA Philadelphia officials announced Wednesday that it is expanding its vaccine eligibility to residents 65 years and older.
The Philadelphia Vaccine Advisory Committee recommended the change to the Philadelphia Phase 1b eligibility criteria. Previously, eligibility by age criteria for Philadelphia Phase 1b was only those who were 75 years or older.
This change is possible because of the increased number of vaccine doses coming into the city, officials said.
The change brings the city s vaccine distribution program into line with the surrounding counties and states. It is effective immediately.
Those who are aged 65 or older are encouraged to register on the City s Vaccine Interest form or by dialing 3-1-1. All of the COVID-19 vaccine clinics in Philadelphia are by appointment only.

(KNSI) – The Benton County Public Health Department has created a COVID-19 Vaccine Interest Survey for people over 65.
The survey is not meant for people to schedule appointments for vaccines but instead will be used to gauge interest and collect contact information so when different groups are eligible, it’s easier for people to be contacted to make an appointment. It’s also not meant for those living in long term care or assisted living facilities. Those populations are part of the priority 1A group already being vaccinated.
The survey takes about two minutes, and officials ask everyone over the age of 65 to fill one out. It only needs to be filled out once.
JAMESTOWN, N.D. (CVHD) – This week, Central Valley Health District (CVHD) with the assistance of Sanford Clinic, the North Dakota National Guard, and various community volunteers administered a total of 834 COVID-19 vaccinations, which included 754 first doses and 80 second doses.
Of those who received their vaccination, 746 were in the 65 and older population, the remainder were Phase 1A health care workers, including University of Jamestown nursing students.
“Our staff worked very hard this week to complete COVID vaccinations in the community. We want to thank all our partners for their assistance as it kept the clinics run very smoothly this week,” stated Robin Iszler, Unit Administrator.
