A pair of reports released Monday indicate that the former Sears location at the Montgomery Mall will soon become a COVID-19 vaccination site.
Accord to CBS3, its unclear when the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency will open the site, but the report indicates that the Johnson and Johnson vaccine will be the select vaccine to be administered at the site.
According to Marion Callahan at the Bucks County Courier Times, the Sears location will be one of two mass PEMA vaccination sites set up to distribute approximately 42,000 doses of the vaccine per week.
As published last week, officials from each of Philadelphia’s four collar counties signed a joint statement expressing their “extreme disappointment” in the Pennsylvania Department of Health’s decision to go with a max-vaccination site as opposed to allocating the Johnson and Johnson vaccine directly to Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties.
