HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania – Governor Tom Wolf indicated that the state’s vaccination phases could end when his administration targets President Biden’s goal of having everyone eligible by May 1. He said the goal “really throws away the whole 1A, 1B, 1C thing.”
According to our TribLive.com partners, a spokeswoman for Wolf’s office said the state is following efforts outlined earlier this month and “is taking aggressive steps to meet the Biden government’s goal of making every American adult eligible. to receive by May 1 “.
Wolf said the vaccine landscape changed when the Johnson & Johnson vaccine was launched. At the same time, shipments of Pfizer and Moderna vaccines were increasing.
Wolf’s comments come at a time when states across the country are opening vaccine eligibility to everyone. In Ohio, Governor Mike DeWine announced last week that any resident aged 16 or over who wants the vaccine will be able to make an appointment. Alaska wiped out the groups earlier this month, opening it up to anyone who wanted to. Mississippi and West Virginia also followed suit. Officials in Georgia and Texas said this week that they are opening eligibility in their states by the end of the month.
