Mobile COVID-19 vaccination unit at Bronx NYCHA centers
BY JASON COHEN
A mobile COVID-19
vaccination unit will be
visiting NYCHA centers
throughout the Bronx to
vaccinate over 15,000 senior
residents in only eight
weeks.
The goal of the initiative
is to reach seniors in their
communities rather than
having them travel far distances
to clinics and hospitals
to receive the vaccine.
Launching on Jan.
25, the plan is being carried
out by the Bronx Rising
Initiative in partnership
with Morris Heights
Health Center. The Bronx
Rising Initiative has secured
over $2.3 million in
funding, enabling MHHC
to secure necessary vaccinations,
even as the state
faces a shortage.
The mobile unit kicked
off the vaccinations at
the Bronx River Community
Center, in Soundview.
They will distribute 120
vaccine doses each day and
more than 2,400 vaccines
next week alone at various
NYCHA community centers
across the Bronx. Seniors at the Bronx River Community Houses received the COVID-19 vaccination Monday.
