HARRISBURG (AP) - Police officers, firefighters and grocery workers will start getting the single dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine in about two weeks, as the current effort to immunize school workers wraps up, Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf said Friday.

Wolf also said he was confident that Pennsylvania will meet President Joe Biden’s directive to make everyone eligible for a vaccine by May 1.

“We can meet that timeline,” Wolf said, appearing by video with lawmakers on a vaccine task force. “We want to get everybody vaccinated as quickly and fairly as possible. That’s what we’re trying to do here.”

Sen. Ryan Aument, R-Lancaster, a vaccine task force member, said the plans mean “a spring of hope is upon us.”

“Much work remains,” Aument said. “But we are turning the corner and dramatically improving the process.”

The group getting special priority after teachers includes police, prison staff, grocery workers, volunteer and professional firefighters, meat processors and farmworkers.

Wolf said planners have to figure out how those doses will be administered, suggesting it could take many forms.

Wolf said all who currently qualify for the vaccine, the so-called “1A” group that includes older people and those whose medical conditions put them at risk, should be able to get an appointment for their first shot by month’s end.

The administration says nearly 1 million Pennsylvanians over 65 have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. Wolf said the state is currently averaging some 70,000 vaccines a day, and was encouraged that more than 114,000 were vaccinated in Pennsylvania on Thursday.

Some of the Johnson & Johnson vaccines will go to regional clinics starting in April. The shape and form of those clinics is a work in progress, and Wolf said the County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania is involved.

Pennsylvania’s program to vaccinate teachers and other school workers, starting in the youngest grades, immunized more than 6,500 people in its first days, officials said.
