    (WILLIAMSPORT, PA) The COVID-19 vaccine rollout is moving ahead nationwide, and multiple locations in Williamsport have it on hand, according to an online database.

    After the Biden administration earlier said all Americans would be eligible for the vaccine by May 1, in early April the administration moved that date to April 19.

    “That doesn’t mean they will get it that day, it means they can join the line,” said White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, describing what the change would mean for ordinary Americans.

    Here are several locations where you can find the vaccine in Williamsport:

    Note: On April 13 the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced a “pause” in administering the Johnson & Johnson vaccine while a panel reviews six cases where recipients of the vaccine developed a severe type of blood clot. Out of 6.8 million doses administered, cases in which patients developed clots are “extremely rare” the agency said in its statement, adding that part of the pause is to allow time to distribute information to doctors about the potential for the side effects.

    I'd like to get the Johnson & Johnson shot, but every time I checked the pharmacy on Lycoming Creek Road they don't have any, even though it states that they do. Hmmm... 🤔
