The Pennsylvania Department of Health announced this week that phase 1a of its vaccination plan has now expanded to include people age 65 and older as well as people ages 16-64 with serious medical conditions.

Currently, all of the doses LVHN has in hand are accounted for through scheduled appointments. However, people can sign up to be notified when it’s their turn to schedule an appointment. No special information or codes are necessary.

Everyone with a My­LVHN account will be preregistered for a COVID-19 vaccine. You’ll receive a notification when you are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine and can schedule your appointment on My­LVHN. If you do not have a MyLVHN account, you can create one at MyLVHN.org. You do not need to be a current patient of LVHN, LVPG or Coordinated Health to open a MyLVHN account.
