The city announced today that residents living in Northeast Philadelphia ZIP codes would be eligible for walk-up vaccination at the FEMA-supported Center City Vaccination Center at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.

The walk-up vaccinations are available to individuals who qualify for the city’s 1A and 1B eligibility criteria, which includes everyone above the age of 65.

It will run from March 17 to 22 only.

The Northeast ZIP codes are 19116, 19120, 19124, 19135, 19136, 19149 and 19152. These areas, along with regions in North, West and Southwest Philadelphia, were chosen to serve the ZIP codes with the lowest vaccination rate in the city.

Individuals must be able to prove they live in the areas using an ID card, a piece of mail with an address or a PHL City ID.

Clinic hours at 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. It is recommended to show up before 5 p.m.

If you do not qualify, you can still fill out the City’s vaccine interest form here, which will tell the Department of Public Health how to contact you when you are eligible.

This announcement follows last week’s mass vaccination at Cannstatter’s, 9130 Academy Road. More than 400 people received the Pfizer vaccine last week, with plans for the site to administer vaccinations weekly.
