Pennsylvania health officials will establish two mass vaccination sites in Philadelphia’s collar counties instead of the originally planned one after local officials complained it would not be accessible to the majority of residents, write Erin McCarthy and Justine McDaniel for The Philadelphia Inquirer.

The state has allocated 42,000 Johnson & Johnson shots per week for the single clinic it had planned to open, so the two new clinics will split these doses.

The mass vaccination sites are part of a wider initiative by state health officials to open vaccination locations in each region of Pennsylvania.

The two sites will be available to residents of Chester, Bucks, Montgomery, and Delaware Counties.

And while the counties agreed to set locations for the new sites, leaders emphasized they were “extremely disappointed” that their requests to distribute the vaccine through their own clinics were disregarded by the Department of Health.

The counties want the vaccine to be given directly to them to make distribution more equitable for the sprawling region.

Montgomery, Chester, and Bucks counties have also argued that the one-dose vaccines should be used for vulnerable populations, including homeless and homebound.
