other boroughs this Sunday: de Blasio
BY BRONX TIMES
Three vaccine hubs will open this
Sunday at South Bronx Educational
Campus at 701 St Ann’s Avenue, along
with Brooklyn and Queens locations
at Bushwick Education Campus in
Brooklyn, Hillcrest High School in
Queens and on Sunday, Jan. 10, Mayor
Bill de Blasio announced on Monday.
“This is the shape of things to
come,” said de Blasio. “This is the
model to start getting us to the grassroots.”
Last week, the mayor announced
plans to speed up vaccination efforts in
the city by creating a network of vaccination
hubs this month with the goal
of administering one million doses of
the COVID-19 vaccine over the upcoming
weeks.
Hubs will be set up in places like
school gymnasiums with priority to
be given to the 27 neighborhoods hardest
hit by the coronavirus pandemic,
the mayor said, with the goal of administering
45,000 doses of either the
Pfi zer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccine
a week.
By the end of the month, de Blasio
pledged to increase the total number
of vaccination sites in the city should
from 160 to 250.
