All year the Philly Counts team has been talking to Philadelphia residents to help make the Covid-19 vaccine more accessible. We also wanted to hear from residents about why they decided to get vaccinated – The number one answer amongst Philadelphians we asked was because of their FAMILY!

Last year, we focused on staying distanced from family for the holidays to keep everyone safe.  Now, we have the option of reconnecting with our families, while keeping them safe, thanks to the three Covid-19 vaccines that are available. With different timelines for every vaccine, we have outlined the last possible today to get vaccinated AND be fully protected in time for the holiday season.
