More than 200,000 Pennsylvanians are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, and that number is expected to increase to 1 million within two to three weeks, according to data released by the Pennsylvania Department of Health.

As of Tuesday afternoon, 201,797 Pennsylvanians have received both doses of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine.

Meanwhile, another 822,818 Pennsylvanians are waiting to receive a second dose of the vaccine. After vaccine recipients receive their first dose, they must wait 14-21 days before receiving the second to be fully inoculated.

After those 800,000 join the ranks of the vaccinated, Pennsylvania will rest firmly at 1,024,615–or, 8 percent of the state’s total population. Around 1.6 percent of the state’s population is currently vaccinated.

Lycoming County is following a similar trend at a smaller scale. As of Tuesday afternoon, the state reported 2,363 Lycoming County residents had been fully vaccinated, while another 6,443 were in tow. By that count, around 2 percent of the county’s population has been vaccinated, and that is expected to rise to around 7.8 percent in the coming weeks.

In the past several days, the rate of vaccination has considerably slowed down. From Saturday through Tuesday, Lycoming County has only reported an increase of 16, 17 and 10 full vaccinations, respectively, compared to the larger increases of 484, 230 and 223 it experienced last Wednesday through Saturday.

The state numbers reflect that trend–While from Saturday through Tuesday, the state reported increases of around 7,600, 5,100 and 5,300 full vaccinations through those days, earlier in the week, it reported increases of 19,600, 14,100 and 10,300.

This could be explained by recent winter weather, which resulted in many vaccination clinics closing down across the state on Monday, according to Maggi Barton, Deputy Press Secretary at the Department of Health.

“As Pennsylvanians are experiencing extreme winter weather, we know some people will not be able to receive their vaccine due to road hazards,” Barton said.

Geisinger at Jersey Shore, for example, closed Monday due to the weather and reopened Tuesday.

“The Department of Health and the providers administering the vaccine will work to ensure we can get vaccines into arms by working to reschedule appointments,” Barton said.

The Department of Health has also updated its Vaccine Provider map to display additional locations in Lycoming County.

According to its map, Rite Aids on both Fifth Street and East Third Street in Williamsport are now administering the vaccine.

Both Rite Aid locations are offering the vaccine to eligible recipients so long as supplies last, according to Chris Savarese, Rite Aid public relations director.

Savarese said Rite Aid is able to vaccinate health care professionals, people 65 years old or older and people with preexisting health conditions.

“When we are able to schedule appointments, they fill up very quickly,” Savarese said.

Meanwhile, Family Practice Centers across Lycoming County are rolling out the vaccine to community health care workers who have not been able to be vaccinated elsewhere.

Other than health care workers, FPC is prioritizing its patients who are eligible under Phase 1A, according to Selina Spade, operations manager. She told patients who are eligible to contact their primary care provider and ask to be put on a list.

“Many offices are starting with their most high-risk patients,” Spade said.

Because of the limited supply of vaccines, Pennsylvania’s has planned out its vaccination process into several phases that prioritize certain people for vaccination. The state is still in Phase 1A, which prioritizes healthcare workers, individuals older than 65 years and people 16-64 with “high-risk” conditions.

Those health conditions include cancer, chronic kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Down Syndrome, heart conditions, immunocompromisation, obesity and severe obesity, pregnancy, sickle cell disease, people who smoke and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

The Pennsylvania Department of Health also reported that last week, it allocated around 2,000 vaccine doses to Lycoming County vaccine providers.

UPMC Williamsport received another 975 Pfizer vaccines, while Family Practice Center in Southside Medicine and Hughesville received 400 Moderna vaccines each. Family Practice Center in Muncy received 100 doses of the Moderna vaccine, while River Valley Health and Dental received 300.
