Following the opening of the new COVID-19 vaccination site at Bronx High School of Science, located at 75 West 205th Street, in Jerome Park, a long line of people were seen all along Goulden Avenue for about a quarter of a mile, as they waited patiently to get vaccinated on Sunday, Feb. 26.

 

As reported by Norwood News, on Sunday, March 2, Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz announced on social media the same  evening that the Walton High School Campus vaccination site, one of the local vaccination sites for Bronx Community Board 7 residents, had moved to the nearby Jerome Park site, because NYC Department of Education needed to reclaim the Walton HS campus for middle schoolers who returning to the classroom for in-person learning.

 

Dinowitz added that the vaccination procedure at the new site would remain the same as before, as shots would be administered by appointment only.

 

Meanwhile, the vaccination site at Yankee Stadium is now giving Bronx residents the one-shot Johnson and Johnson vaccine and is reportedly expanding to 24-hours a day. To schedule an appointment, call (877) VAX-4NYC or 1-833-SomosNY.

 

As reported by Norwood News, another new mass vaccination site opened at Co-Op City on Thursday, March 4.

 

Norwood News also reported recently that Bronx Community Board 7 Health committee discussed, at their most recent health committee meeting, the relatively poor vaccination rates in CB7, and what they are proposing to do to improve them.
