PHILADELPHIA - A federally-supported mass vaccination clinic with the capacity to inoculated thousands of people per day will open Wednesday at the Pennsylvania Convention Center to eligible residents.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and partnering agencies recently selected Philadelphia as part of a 10-city pilot program to expand access to vaccinations.
The site will be open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. through at least Apr. 30. The FEMA site promises to markedly increase the number of available doses by adding its own allotment to what is given to Philadelphia Health Department.
At maximum operating capacity, officials believe the site can administer 6,000 doses per day.A mass vaccination clinic will open.
