HARRISBURG - Pennsylvania marked a milestone on Thursday, with 50% of adults statewide now considered fully vaccinated against COVID-19.The Wolf administration says it will lift an order requiring unvaccinated people to wear masks in public once 70% of Pennsylvanians aged 18 and older are fully vaccinated, meaning at least two weeks beyond the last required dose.That percentage stood at 50% on Thursday, according to federal data, while 68% of adults had at least one shot.The pace of vaccinations has been slowing for weeks, with most people eager to get the shot already having done so.
Health Department data provided to The Associated Press shows Pennsylvania ordered only about a quarter of the vaccine doses to which it was entitled last.
