Philadelphia’s effort to vaccinate those over the age of 65 just got a boost in the form of three new clinic opportunities at its health center sites. The Philadelphia Health Department has dubbed this initiative Walk-up Wednesdays.
Beginning Wednesday, April 7, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., the Health Center 3 Annex on Chester Avenue, the Berks Street Annex also known as Health Center 5, and Health Center 10 on Cottman Avenue will administer vaccinations to any Philadelphia resident over the age of 65 who chooses to drop by.

Amid a worrying climb in COVID-19 case counts, there is good news on the vaccination front in Montgomery County: the state sent the county its largest delivery of vaccine to date.
“For this week only, we are receiving a double shipment of the Johnson and Johnson, one-shot vaccine equaling 21,000 doses. This is in addition to the 5,850 doses of Pfizer,” said Dr. Val Arkoosh, chair of the county Board of Commissioners.
