President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the results of November’s election came to a violent crescendo on Wednesday when a pro-Trump mob staged an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol following a rally outside the White House, where the President continued to spread misinformation about the 2020 election.
Five deaths have been connected to Wednesday’s violence at the Capitol, including a woman who was shot by police as rioters attempted to breach the House chamber and three others who died from medical emergencies, according to the D.C. Metropolitan Police. On Thursday, the U.S. Capitol Police announced that one of its officers, 42-year-old New Jersey-native Brian Sicknick, died after being “injured while physically engaging with protesters.”

That’s not on the radar right now, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Health’s Communications Office. “The commonwealth has no plans to mandate the COVID-19 vaccine,” a spokesperson said.
There are several immunizations that are recommended by the Pennsylvania Department of Health for school-age children – with exceptions.
If the state reconsiders and adds COVID to the mandatory vaccine list, that decision will impact Warren County School District.
