Pharmacies soon will offer COVID-19 vaccines to seniors in Philadelphia. No options yet for the homebound. – The Philadelphia Inquirer

The city is getting about 20,000 doses of vaccine each week through the end of February. There are about 91,000 Philadelphians who are 75 and up. (Unlike surrounding counties, the city has not yet opened vaccination to healthy people aged 65 through 74.) The city is continuing to vaccinate police and fire personnel and will add teachers in a few weeks, so seniors should expect competition. As you can imagine, what happens is that every appointment gets taken, Johnson said.
