Measured over 59 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 15, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 1 interaction against 97K followers, an engagement rate of 0.001%. Measured over 59 original posts, its engagement rate beats 3% of 21,185 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 1.1K times each, and 0.089% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.16% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 59 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 46% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 38 interactions, about 38x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #blackbreastfeedingweek, #thinkfungus26.

Compared with accounts its own size
PA Department of Health's engagement rate beats 3% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 7 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 5% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

At 0.001%, PA Department of Health sits below the 10th percentile of the 212,567 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.025%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 12:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 100% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 46% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 100% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 46% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 296 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

Pennsylvania Secretary of Health Dr. Debra Bogen released the following statement in response to the Trump Administration's executive order to try to upend the nation’s childhood vaccine schedule: "In Pennsylvania, public health decisions are guided by rigorous medical science, not shifting national agendas. Vaccines are the best tools we have to protect our communities from preventable diseases, and they have demonstrated this over and over again for generations. As a pediatrician, I know that splitting up combination immunizations, like the MMR vaccine, creates unnecessary hurdles for parents, needlessly extends the window of risk for our youngest residents, and doesn’t follow the results of the many studies that went into developing the previous vaccine schedules. Here in Pennsylvania, we will continue to follow the facts and evidence-based medicine to keep our children and communities safe."

Ticks can hitch a ride into your house on your clothes. If you spot any, pull them off right away, then toss your dry clothes in the dryer on high for 10 minutes. Doing laundry first? Make sure to use hot water — cold or warm won’t kill ticks. https://t.co/r39ulBSgcT

“The Pennsylvania Department of Health’s priority is responding to public health threats and protecting the health of all Pennsylvanians. As part of that responsibility, the Department reported two measles-associated deaths in the Commonwealth on August 25. I again express my deepest condolences to the families who are grieving these losses. We value our continued work with local, state and federal partners responding to the measles outbreak. Together, we have administered a record number of MMR vaccinations in recent months. Thank you to those who have chosen to get vaccinated to protect themselves, their families and our communities. For anyone interested in learning more, we encourage you to speak with your health care provider. Additional resources are available at https://t.co/sE556MwCCZ.” - Dr. Debra Bogen, Secretary of Health

Tick tip! Jump in the shower after being outside — it rinses off any ticks that haven’t attached, and it’s the perfect time for a quick tick check. Showering within 2 hours can lower your risk of Lyme disease and may lower the risk of other tickborne diseases. https://t.co/wHwjkzbWTK

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 1 interaction against 97K followers, an engagement rate of 0.001%. Measured over 59 original posts, its engagement rate beats 3% of 21,185 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 1.1K times each, and 0.089% of those impressions turn into an interaction.

- What is PA Department of Health's engagement rate on X?
- PA Department of Health (@PAHealthDept) has an engagement rate of 0.001%, based on the median interactions across 59 original posts from the last 30 days against 96,502 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.001%, PA Department of Health sits below the 10th percentile of the 212,567 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @PAHealthDept have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 3% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 accounts), which puts it in the bottom 10% for its size group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @PAHealthDept post?
- Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 2 posts per day across the measured window.
