Operative words
(press accounts, Aug. 10, 2021:) State employees in Pennsylvania health-care and congregate-care facilities were required to be vaccinated or undergo weekly COVID-19 testing... The Governor stated he 'did not plan to issue any requirements for the private sector.'
Enforcement
Commonwealth employment policy
Notes
Negative finding for the private sector: Pennsylvania issued no statewide health-care-worker or private-employer vaccination mandate in 2021; the Philadelphia Board of Health regulation of Aug. 12-16, 2021 and the federal instruments are the operative vaccination-related instruments.
