COVID-19 Vaccine Dashboard Updated: The Health Department continues to collect data on COVID-19 vaccinations of Philadelphia residents. As more children under the age of five are vaccinated, it has become possible for the City to start reporting the number of doses administered to that group. Because the numbers are still low, the Health Department is not reporting percentages or demographics on this group. Additionally, the new dashboard includes information on the number of Philadelphians over the age of 50 that have received two booster doses, as recommended by the CDC. The updated dashboard will be available today from the City’s COVID-19 Vaccine Data website.
