COVID-19 vaccine in Philadelphia: All 16+ residents now get a chance

April 16, 2021 06:22 by NewsDesk
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) – Dr. Health Commissioner Thomas Farley announced Friday that all Philadelphia residents 16 years and older are immediately eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.

The city was originally scheduled to move to Phase 2 on Monday, April 19th.

Farley said the change comes after several websites reported vacancies. It affects all vaccine providers in the city, including hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, community organizations and the FEMA clinics.

Open appointments and trainings are currently available at both FEMA sites in Philadelphia.

The Center City Vaccination Center is open from 08:00 to 16:00 and the Esperanza Vaccination Center is open all weekend from 09:00 to 17:00.

In response to the FDA and CDC suspending the administration of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine, the FEMA websites will administer the Pfizer vaccine.

The city reported 631 additional confirmed cases of COVID-19 on Friday. The Department of Public Health also confirmed 16 additional deaths.
