PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) Frustrations are mounting over registration for the COVID-19 vaccine in Pennsylvania as we head into another week of the rollout.
Heidi Gibbons, a nurse practitioner, reached out to Action News after she failed to get confirmation that the registration forms she filled out for her 94-year-old mother were accepted.
She is left wondering if her mother is in a queue to receive the shots. Her mother lives in an independent living facility, which is not considered a nursing home in Bucks County, but she also maintains a residence in Philadelphia. When you apply on these websites you get no confirmation whatsoever. So it s like putting her name into cyberspace and I really don t know if she s technically on a waiting list anywhere, said Gibbons.

The front door was ajar and no lights or employees were visible inside the Knights Road Pharmacy, an official Pennsylvania vaccine provider, according to the state health department.
The pharmacy did not appear to be open for business and no one answered the phone after multiple calls to the number listed outside the property Thursday.
Recently, the Pennsylvania Health Department began directing residents to local pharmacies and medical centers for vaccines. Maps and lists appear on state and county websites. Yet many of those locations said they don’t have vaccines to distribute and don’t know when they might receive such medications.
