We received word today that all 23 Pennsylvania State Correctional Institutions (SCIs) have received Johnson & Johnson one-dose COVID-19 vaccines.

Everyone who lives or works in an SCI will have the opportunity to roll up their sleeve and receive their shot within the next two weeks.

While a few state and county facilities began inoculating people last month, the arrival of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine will significantly increase the pace of the immunization effort and is a major step forward in protecting all incarcerated people and correctional workers across Pennsylvania from the virus.
