See which Pennsylvania nursing homes are getting the COVID-19 vaccine this week

The Pennsylvania Department of Health has approved all eligible skilled nursing homes to participate in the Federal Pharmacy Partnership Clinics program run by Operation Warp Speed. The federal program contracted with CVS and Walgreens to provide personnel and administrative services to run vaccination clinics in skilled nursing homes for patients and employees who chose to get the vaccination.

According to press release from the Health Department, the partnership will vaccinate staff and residents in skilled nursing facilities licensed by the Health Department. Of eligible facilities, 603 have chosen the federal pharmacy partnership to complete vaccination and 89 have opted out of the federal pharmacy partnership.

In the first phase of the program 126 facilities, or about one out of five statewide, have been designated by Warp Speed for inclusion. The complete searchable and sortable list is below.
