Philadelphia To Open 5th Mass COVID Vaccination Clinic At Grand Yesha Ballroom

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The City of Philadelphia is set to open a fifth standing mass COVID-19 vaccination clinic. This latest clinic will open Wednesday at the Grand Yesha Ballroom in South Philadelphia.

This will be the first city-run clinic in South Philadelphia, with a second clinic opening just two days later.

The clinic is part of the city's plan to make the COVID-19 vaccine as accessible as possible in traditionally underserved neighborhoods.

City-run clinics hope to vaccinate 500 people per day.

A press conference is scheduled for Wednesday at 10 a.m. The press conference will be streamed on CBSN Philly above.
