Chester County Health Department

This past Friday, the PA Department of Health updated their COVID-19 Vaccine Phase Guidance. Chester County recommendations now mirror both the CDC and Pennsylvania Department of Health. We are currently vaccinating individuals in Phase 1A and planning for vaccinations of the people in Phase 1B. We will continue to provide updates as more information is available. If you are trying to determine what phase group you may be a part of, check the resources below:... CCHD Vaccine Website (https://chesco.org/COVIDVaccine) PA DOH Vaccine Website (http://bit.ly/2LGQBPy) CDC Vaccine Website (http://bit.ly/3bvWbPE) If you've looked through these resources and still have questions, please send us a message on Facebook or give us a call at 610-344-6225. Each day, the Health Department receives an incredibly high volume of calls and emails. We ask for your patience as our team works to get back to you.

Get tested so you can help stop the spread in our community. For more information on testing sites in Chester County visit: https://www.chesco.org//Coronavirus-COVID-19-Nasal-Swab-Te
