Bedford Pop-Up Vaccine Site Will Offer Johnson & Johnson Shots

BEDFORD, NY — A vaccination event will be held on April 12, according to Bedford Town Supervisor MaryAnn Carr. The one-day-only pop-up vaccination site will offer the Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccine.

The Johnson & Johnson vaccination only requires one dose. Unlike with the other approved vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer, those vaccinated on Monday will not need to immediately schedule a follow-up appointment to receive a second booster shot.

The pop-up vaccination event was made possible through a partnership with the Antioch Baptist Church. Although pop-up vaccination events are normally scheduled to make it easier for local residents of the community to attend, this vaccination event is open to all New York residents aged 18 and older.

The vaccines will be administered at the Bedford Town Hall at 321 Bedford Road in Bedford Hills. Walk-in appointments are not available. Pre-registration with an appointment is required to receive a shot. Proof of ID will be checked at the time of the scheduled appointment.

Registration for the April 12 vaccination pop-up can be completed online here. Those hoping to receive the shots can also call 914-666-6530 to register or to find out more details .
