December 11, 2020
One day after Governor Tom Wolf and Sec. of Health Dr. Rachel Levine announced stricter mitigation measures to help stop the spread of COVID-19 cases to protect Pennsylvanians and the state’s health care systems, workers and businesses, health care organizations and other groups are showing their support for the plans.
Who is included in the first phase of vaccinations?
The state’s first phase of initial doses will go to health care workers and long-term care facility residents.
Indiana has about 400,000 health care workers – doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists, environmental services, administrators who have direct contact with patients, transportation staff. There are about 39,000 Hoosiers living in long-term care facilities.
That means about 6.5 percent of Indiana’s total population are prioritized for the first phase of the vaccine’s rollout.
But Dr. Lindsay Weaver, Indiana Department of Health chief medical officer, said the very first doses aren’t enough to cover that entire population. The health department anticipates receiving 55,575 doses in the first week.
