It has truly been an honor to serve the people of Pennsylvania under the leadership of @GovernorTomWolf. He's a tremendous leader with an incredible vision for Pennsylvania, and it has been a highlight of my career to serve in his administration.
I look forward to the opportunity to continue to serve Pennsylvanians, and all Americans, as part of the Biden Administration if I am fortunate enough to be confirmed to this position. Read my full statement: bit.ly/35Vri3q

We are committed to ensuring that vaccine is getting to Pennsylvanians as quickly as manufacturers get it to us. Both of these partnerships will help vaccinate most vulnerable residents + people who care for them more quickly so that we can move to other groups in our communities
Today @SecretaryLevine announced that the commonwealth has activated Phase B of the federal Pharmacy Partnership for Long-Term Care Program, to expand its mission to include personal care and assisted living facilities, among others, throughout Pennsylvania.
We are working on ways to increase access to #COVID19 #vaccine + pharmacists already play an important role in making sure Pennsylvanians are protected. Pa'ians continue to play an essential role in preventing the spread of COVID-19 by masking up, washing up + social distancing.
As part of the effort to roll out the COVID-19 vaccine, Gov Wolf has approved a temporary waiver allowing pharmacists licensed by the @PAStateDept to order & administer COVID-19 vaccines without a physician’s order when vaccines are available to the public.media.pa.gov/Pages/State-det…

As #COVID19 remains a threat in our communities, we need to take precautions to keep safe by monitoring for symptoms, finding a testing site near to us if we have symptoms and staying home if we are sick. We want Pennsylvanians to know that if they need a test, one is available.
According to January 3 White House Task Force Report, Pennsylvania surpasses the average national testing rate for #COVID19. According to the report, PA was at yellow level for number of tests performed per 100,000 people for the previous week. Read more: bit.ly/2JUHiL8
