It’s no secret that demand for coronavirus vaccines continues to outpace supply, nearly four months after the first shots went into Lehigh Valley arms in mid-December.
But as eligibility opens this week ahead of April 19, when all Pennsylvanians 16 and older can get the vaccine, the state’s acting health secretary on Wednesday visited Allentown to help win over those who are hesitant to join the ranks of the inoculated.
