Governor Tom Wolf is encouraging college students to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
“Now that college students are eligible to get vaccinated, it’s really important to make this a priority,” Wolf said. “When you get vaccinated of course you’re protecting yourself. But, when you get vaccinated you’re also protecting the people around you, including those who are under 16 and can’t yet get the vaccination.”
Wolf spoke at Penn State University Wednesday.
He was joined by Nittany Lions head football coach James Franklin who said the vaccine is the way to make sure Beaver Stadium operates at full capacity this fall.
“The more people who are vaccinated, the better chance we have to get back to 107,000 people inside Beaver Stadium,” Franklin said. “We want our Ball State game on September 11th, to be our first family reunion in almost two years. We want Beaver Stadium and all of Happy Valley rocking.”
Right now only 14 percent of the state’s population that’s 20 to 24 years old have at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
