More than 500 people registered to get vaccinated at a West Philadelphia church on Saturday, the first of three planned mass vaccination sites created by area hospitals in partnership with neighborhood faith leaders.
Cynthia Raymond came with her husband to the Church of Christian Compassion, at 62nd and Cedar streets, from their home in the Overbrook neighborhood. She had been trying to get vaccinated for a month.
“This was my best opportunity. I put our names on five waiting lists,” said Raymond. “Then I called my pastor, and I’m here.”
