Chesco Health Dept. Opens Daily Walk-In COVID-19 Vaccine Clinics

WEST CHESTER, PA — Chester County Health Department officials today announced a number of COVID-19 vaccine clinics now offer walk-in vaccinations, as the county leads the region in percentage of people vaccinated.

County health officials encourage everyone who is eligible, but has not yet received the vaccine, to take advantage of this free, convenient option, the county said today in a news release.

Currently, 38 percent of all Chester County residents age 18 and over are fully vaccinated. As of May 5, Chester County leads the region with 70 percent of eligible people partially or fully vaccinated.

"Chester County’s lead in vaccination rates is great, but this final push is key," said Chester County Health Department Director Jeanne Franklin.

"We encourage everyone eligible who hasn’t yet been vaccinated, to book an appointment or just walk in to a clinic so that Chester County becomes one of the first counties, or even the very first county in Pennsylvania to meet — and exceed — the governor’s benchmark of 70 percent fully vaccinated. Let’s do our part now, to become mask-free."

From Friday, May 7, the Health Department’s walk-in vaccine clinic at the Exton Square Mall — the former Sears store — will offer Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson vaccines, and the Longwood Gardens overflow parking area drive-thru clinic will offer Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines. These clinics are open Tuesday through Sunday.

Three senior centers in the county now serve as walk-in clinics, administering the Moderna vaccine. These senior centers are Phoenixville Senior Center, Oxford Area Senior Center, and Brandywine Valley Active Aging in Coatesville.

The Chester County Health Department will vaccinate any eligible person that visits one of the Health Department walk-in vaccination sites. If individuals prefer to make an appointment, they can do so at https://chesterpaprod.service-now.com/vam.
