(Shutterstock) PENNSYLVANIA — Leaders in Pennsylvania touted slow but steady progress in the vaccination effort on Tuesday, addressing the challenges with vaccinating underserved communities and initiatives underway to improve access to doses. The state received another increase in vaccine shipments this week, with 25,000 more first doses and 16,000 more second doses received this week than last week. While these numbers still leave the state in a vaccine deficit — and unable to presently open up all of the regional community vaccination clinics they would like to — they remain optimistic they'll continue to receive more and more each week.
