Pennsylvania makes essential workers eligible for vaccine
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania has expanded eligibility for the COVID-19 vaccine to essential workers in a range of industries on Monday. Workers in transportation and logistics, construction, public health, finance, legal services and several other industries became eligible to sign up for the vaccine on Monday. State officials have said the newly eligible population totals between 1.3 million and 1.7 million people. Pennsylvania plans to make the shot available to everyone aged 16 and older on April 19 to meet a deadline set by President Joe Biden. Most states have already made adults universally eligible for the vaccine.
