"Planned Parenthood Association of Pennsylvania is proud to partner with the Pennsylvania Women's Commission, the Pennsylvania Department of Health, and Domestic Violence Services for the Lancaster Health Fair. As part of the "Protect. Every. Body. Campaign", we are focusing on getting our communities the resources and information they need — including the COVID-19 vaccine. Access to mental healthcare, vaccinations, and other critical healthcare resources is fundamental to living safe and healthy lives," said Auri Hampton, Planned Parenthood Association of Pennsylvania Central PA COVID-19 Fellow.

"At the Department of Health, we are making it a priority to ensure that all Pennsylvanians have accurate information about and access to COVID-19 vaccines," Acting Secretary of Health Alison Beam said. "Together, we have made great progress in fully vaccinating over 7.5 million individuals in Pennsylvania according to the CDC, yet there are still communities of individuals who have yet to get vaccinated. The Lancaster Health Fair vaccine clinic is another opportunity to increase our vaccination numbers.  So today, I am asking each of you to reach out to your loved ones, friends and neighbors, and encourage them to protect their families by receiving the safe and easily available vaccine."
