Yesterday, the Wolf Administration launched an interactive vaccine provider map. This map shows enrolled vaccine providers and indicates which providers have received vaccines to date. In addition to highlighting the status of vaccines available, this map also includes contact information to connect Phase 1A eligible individuals who are not affiliated with a hospital/health system with vaccines.

The map is also provided on the Department of Health’s (DOH’s) main COVID-19 vaccine page. DOH will continue to update this resource as information becomes available.

The Pennsylvania Department of Health (DOH) is supplying guidance on COVID-19 vaccination for providers. The information in 2021- PAHAN- 545- 01-06- ADV should be used to supplement other relevant guidance documents and guide the implementation of public health expectations for vaccine providers.

Key messages included in the guidance include:

  • There are two mRNA vaccines with 90 – 95 percent efficacy in preventing clinical COVID-19 currently available through an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States.
  • The only absolute contraindication to COVID-19 vaccination is a history of an immediate allergic reaction to either COVID-19 vaccine or any of their components.
  • Severe adverse reactions are uncommon, but vaccine providers should be prepared for this rare event.
  • Vaccine providers should report all adverse events following vaccination to the Vaccine Adverse Event Recording System (VAERS).
  • All COVID-19 mitigation measures should continue to be followed after vaccination.
