Gov. Wolf Continues to Urge Pennsylvanians to Get Vaccinated to Stop Spread of COVID-19

As Pennsylvania's vaccination rate continues to progress, Gov. Tom Wolf today thanked Pennsylvanians for doing their part to stop the spread of COVID-19 and urged individuals ages 12 and older to get vaccinated.

Governor Wolf and local elected officials visited a vaccination clinic today sponsored by Jefferson Health at St. Raymond of Penafort Catholic Church in the Cedarbrook section of Philadelphia.

"I'm proud of all of the Pennsylvanians who have stepped up to get their shot and I am grateful to everyone who has had a hand in organizing and running vaccine clinics like the one we're visiting today. Your hard work saves lives, and we cannot thank you enough for all that you do," Gov. Wolf said. "Pennsylvania has had a lot of success rolling out COVID-19 vaccines over the past several months. Unfortunately, despite widespread vaccine availability, there are still many eligible Pennsylvanians who are unvaccinated."

"Please, if you haven't had time to get vaccinated, make time. Vaccines are effective, safe, free and available."
