Where might you go for shots? Mass vaccination sites throughout the suburbs
Some suburban residents are receiving their vaccinations through mass vaccination sites set up throughout the region. While those sites have the capacity to handle hundreds of shots a day, many are currently focused on delivering second doses, which limits availability for those who haven't yet scheduled an appointment. Supplies of vaccine doses also affects capacity at each site.
