Acting Secretary of Health and Physician General Dr. Denise Johnson and Acting Secretary of Human Services Meg Snead encouraged Pennsylvanians to vaccinate their children during a visit to the Dauphin County State Health Center. The Department of Health, through the Bureau of Community Health Systems, operates a network of state health centers which support public health programs throughout the commonwealth. Community health nurses hold a weekly walk-in COVID-19 vaccination clinic every Wednesday from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Dauphin County site. “It is reassuring to know that we have a safe and effective way to protect our children from COVID-19-related illness,” said Dr. Johnson. “Even if your child has already had COVID-19, they should still get vaccinated. Emerging evidence indicates that people can get added protection by getting vaccinated after they have been infected with the virus. I strongly encourage all eligible Pennsylvanians to get fully vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19 as soon as possible.”
