As of October 13, Pennsylvania vaccine providers have administered 13,135,136 COVID-19 vaccines.
"The commonwealth has reached a milestone in our fight against this deadly virus," said Wolf. "Now, 70% of Pennsylvania's adults have accepted their responsibility to stop the spread of COVID-19 and most importantly keep themselves and their loved ones safe. This milestone is critical to protect those not yet eligible for the vaccine, like our children under 12 years of age."
The commonwealth currently ranks 7th nationally in first doses administered.
"To everyone who has gotten vaccinated, thank you," said Wolf. "For those not yet vaccinated, please consider joining us in doing your part. Visit a vaccine provider as soon as possible. Vaccines are safe and effective, and the one scientifically proven way to stop the spread of this deadly virus."
