(EDITOR’S NOTE: Dr. David Lopatofsky, chief medical officer, UPMC in the Susquehanna Region, agrees with and supports the following statement shared by his colleagues on the Southwestern PA Regional Chief Medical Officer Consortium.
“While UPMC is encouraged by the public’s eagerness for the vaccine, we simply do not have adequate vaccine supplies or clear notification of when and how much is coming to be able to meet the new, much larger group as discussed (Tuesday) by the Pennsylvania Department of Health.
“Our health care sites and systems will need to continue to prioritize those seeking vaccination, identifying the most vulnerable in their area to serve first and to optimize impact during this time of short supply. That means many requests for vaccination will not be met in the next days to weeks, and this is not from a lack of desire.”)
