Deadline tomorrow for higher education, some healthcare workers to be vaccinated in Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- By Monday, Philadelphia healthcare workers, and those in higher education, will need to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

That's the deadline set by the City of Philadelphia, after it was already extended last month.

University staff, students and faculty, workers in hospitals and long-term health facilities were required to get at least one dose of the vaccine by October 15.

If they received either the Moderna or Pfizer vaccination, tomorrow is the final day to get the second shot.

The city requires all other healthcare workers to get their second dose by November 22.
