Two queues are formed on the sidewalk outside the Philadelphia Convention Center.
"You have an appointment?
Take the right lane
,
”
says a receptionist to a lady who arrives with papers in her hand.
"But you, sir, don't go, take the left lane!"
, she says to a man who hesitates to approach.
This is the last day for people without an appointment. ”
Since March 3, the city's convention center has become a vaccination center, managed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema).
With the help of the National Guard, mobilized to provide medical and logistical support, the center operates twelve hours a day, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and delivers the vaccine produced by the Pfizer company.
Since its opening, the vaccination rate has been 6000 doses per day.
“We even go up to 7000 on weekends,”
explains a Fema agent.
