CENTER CITY - Vaccine eligibility is expanding in Philadelphia. By May 1st, all adults will be eligible for a shot, according to Philadelphia Health Commissioner Doctor Thomas Farley.In addition, the FEMA-run site at the Convention Center will start taking walk-ups, beginning Wednesday, provided certain eligibility criteria are met."I came earlier this morning, because I was under the assumption that you could come and register and get a COVID shot," James Hamler commented.Lines have been wrapping around the Convention Center for days, but Tuesday, folks weren’t all trying to get an extra vaccine.
They were trying to register for one, instead of navigating the online process."I’d rather stand in this line because it’s so hard.
