Gov. Tom Wolf and the members of the bipartisan COVID-19 Vaccine Task Force announced Aug. 2 that they have asked the Pennsylvania General Assembly, the Pennsylvania Congressional Delegation, and county and local officials to support vaccination efforts in Pennsylvania and encourage their constituents to get vaccinated.

"Part of serving the public is ensuring that our constituents have accurate and timely information on public health risks like the delta variant of COVID-19," Wolf said. "Vaccination is an important way that all of us can keep our family, friends and community members safe from more contagious and more dangerous variants of COVID-19—especially vulnerable Pennsylvanians and children under 12 who don't have the option to get vaccinated right now."
