TORRESDALE - Philadelphia on Wednesday continued its effort to deliver the coronavirus vaccine to traditionally underserved communities by opening its seventh mass vaccination site in Torresdale.
The new site is located at the Cannstatter Volksfest Verein German Club on the 9100 block of Academy Road. City officials believe the site, like its sister locations, will have the ability to pump out 500 vaccinations per day.
