While conversations with the entire General Assembly on the state's vaccine plan will remain ongoing, the Wolf administration also sought to provide a mechanism for accurate, timely information sharing via a streamlined set of communicators between these two branches of state government. As such, on Feb. 9 the Wolf administration announced that it is establishing a joint task force with members from each legislative caucus who can share vaccine information and communicate issues and solutions expediently on behalf of and to the broader General Assembly.

"We have a good working relationship with our legislators, and we know they are the eyes, ears and voices for Pennsylvanians," Gov. Tom Wolf said. "The feedback they receive from their local communities is extremely important, particularly as the commonwealth continues to improve upon this once-in-a-generation vaccine rollout. Working with leaders from each caucus in the General Assembly, we are creating a task force to ensure collaboration and strengthen communications about the state's vaccine plan."
