Pennsylvanians age 5 and over are now eligible for the COVID vaccine.
More and more Pennsylvanians are getting vaccinated every day. Here are resources to help individuals, families, and businesses follow safety guidance and get vaccinated.
Hopefully, the vaccinations will be enough to end the DEATHS of Americans, including those in Pennsylvania. I find a lot of this bantering back and forth ridiculous. Gratefully, the Omicron virus is appearing to be less potent than Delta while far easier to spread.I would love to see what the courts would do if a potent Level Three Virus hit the USA, continue to disqualify perfectly good regulations that PREVENT THE SPREAD. I swear the people can blame the courts for the spread of this virus and it's many mutations that kill.
Do the justices, in their ideology, actually forget that? Do they forget the good purpose behind these mandates? TO SAVE LIVES!

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Friday (click here) struck down the school mask mandate imposed by the administration of Gov. Tom Wolf, affirming a lower court ruling that said state health officials lacked the authority to set the requirement.
In an order, the high court said it had vacated an order that allowed the mask mandate to remain in place while the Wolf administration appealed the Commonwealth Court ruling. It did not immediately issue an opinion, but promised one would be coming.
During oral arguments Wednesday, some justices seemed skeptical of the administration’s position that masking was a form of “modified quarantine” permitted under existing state law and regulations.
The plaintiffs who brought the case, Senate President Pro Tempore Jake Corman (R., Centre) and other parents, had argued that Acting Health Secretary Alison Beam erred in not following a formal process to create a new regulation when she imposed the masking requirement this fall.
