COVID-19 VACCINE âHESITANCYâ BECOMING A CONCERN By Hometown1
Apr 18, 2021 5:09 AM
When the covid-19 vaccine became available, people were clamoring for a chance to get it, and the problem was that there was not enough available. Now, the state is stocked with vaccine, but many people donât seem to want it.
Governor Tom Wolf says the pause in distributing the Johnson & Johnson has created questions, but acknowledges that for some time, the state has known that there will be âhesitancyâ among some to get the shot. A Muhlenberg College poll this week found that 46 percent of unvaccinated state residents still plan to get the vaccine as soon as itâs available to them, but 31 percent do not plan to ever get it. The state on Tuesday made the vaccine available to all residents over the age of 16.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (BUSINESS WIRE) Takara Bio USA, Inc.., a wholly owned subsidiary of Takara Bio Inc., is collaborating with Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP), and Indiana Regional Medical Center (IRMC) to enable better and faster COVID-19 testing for rural communities in the United States and around the world.
Many rural communities have been struggling to keep up with the demand for COVID-19 testing. Although medical and laboratory personnel are doing their best to process samples, current detection protocols are expensive and slow, and they can expose laboratory personnel to the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). Furthermore, underserved communities have been hit especially hard by supply chain issues with sample processing components.
