Pennsylvania will soon announce plans for the second phase of COVID-19 vaccinations covering those 75 and older and many essential workers, state Health Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine said Monday.
Known as “1B,” this phase includes vaccinations for law enforcement, fire/rescue and emergency services personnel, corrections officers, clergy and workers in public transit, grocery stores, education, manufacturing, the U.S. Postal Service and childcare and congregate-care facilities that were not part of the still-ongoing initial 1A phase.
