To celebrate Philadelphia moving into Phase 2, the Health Department is encouraging everyone to bring their loved ones to get vaccinated. With case counts rising, bringing your grandparents or older relatives to get vaccinated could save their life. Family members who get vaccinated at one of these clinics can be highlighted on the Health Department's social media accounts by snapping a post-vaccine selfie and tagging #BYLOV and #VaxUpPhilly!

Center City Vaccination Center walk-up appointments available:

Tuesday through Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Esperanza Community Vaccination Center walk-up appointments available:

Monday and Tuesday 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Wednesday noon to 7 p.m.

Closed on Thursday and Friday

Saturday and Sunday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The City of Philadelphia has partnered with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency to open the Esperanza Community Vaccination Center, located at Esperanza in the Hunting Park neighborhood.

The site has the capacity to vaccinate more than 1,000 Philadelphians per day and will prioritize eligible residents who have signed up on the Philadelphia COVID-19 Vaccine Interest Form.

No appointments necessary! Walk-ins will be accepted at Esperanza Community Vaccination Center; however, residents must arrive an hour prior to closing to be accommodated. All you need to bring is a single proof of residency (a utility bill is sufficient). See daily hours of operation below.

The entrance to the Esperanza Community Vaccination Center is located along the south side of W. Bristol Street, at 4261 N. 5th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19140.

The Esperanza Community Vaccination Center will operate five days a week. The times of operation will vary for easier scheduling.

o Monday and Tuesday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
o Wednesday from noon to 8 p.m.
o Thursday and Friday - Closed
o Saturday and Sunday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The Department of Homeland Security is committed to equal access to the COVID-19 vaccine. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection will not conduct immigration enforcement operations at or near this vaccine distribution site.

How to register for a vaccine appointment

Appointments for the Esperanza Vaccination Center are being set for Philadelphia residents who have completed our COVID-19 Vaccine Interest Form. The form is available in five languages:

If residents do not have internet access, have issues filling out the online form, or need the form in an additional language, they should call 3-1-1. Residents will be contacted once they are eligible and a vaccine is available.

What to Bring

An ID or piece of mail with a Philadelphia address is necessary to provide proof of identity and residency.

What to Expect

Before your appointment

Please wear clothing that will make it easy for you to receive your vaccine. Consider wearing a shirt that can easily expose your upper arm. This will help the process move quickly and smoothly for yourself and others.

Individuals with vaccination appointments should plan to arrive on time. You may have to wait in line prior to entering the site to get your vaccine. Seating and wheelchairs are available on site to assist individuals who are unable to stand for extended periods of time.

One caregiver or other support staff is allowed into the clinic with those who need them who are receiving the vaccine.

You will move through several areas while answering important screening questions. Be prepared to move around the facility while you are traveling from registration, to vaccination, to observation.

If you require mobility assistance, let any staff member in uniform know. One companion may accompany the person with the appointment.

You'll be scheduled for your second dose, if your vaccine requires one, when you check-in. You'll be asked a few health screening questions to ensure it's safe for you to receive the vaccine, and then you'll get the vaccine.

After your appointment

After you've been vaccinated, you'll wait in an observation area for 15 minutes. Certain health conditions will require a 30-minute observation time.

After their appointment, individuals will proceed into a tented observation area located in the school's parking lot. All individuals will exit out of the south side of the tent.

You will receive a CDC issued card, keep this card in a safe place. Take a picture of it on your phone and email it to yourself. You'll need to bring it to your second vaccine appointment, if you are required to receive a second dose.

You will also receive an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) issued fact sheet with certain vaccine-specific EUA information for you to read.

You may experience minor side effects after your vaccination. These side effects are signals that your immune system is working. Potential short-term side effects include:

Translation and Interpretation Services

If you or a member of your party needs language translation or interpretation services, see any staff member. A mix of on-site translators and mobile applications will be used to communicate with those who require interpretation of languages commonly spoken in Philadelphia.

On site languages will included Spanish, Portuguese, Mandarin, Cantonese and many more. A language line phone service will support most other languages. Individuals will be welcome to use their own phone to support translation services via a provided language line number or will have access to a site-provided cell phone.

Access and Functional Needs Considerations

There will be an assisted check-in area and process, as well as signage with directions for patients with access and functional needs.

There will be on-site translation in American Sign Language (ASL) with additional language capability on-call as needed. Wheelchairs will be available. Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) services will also be available on site.

There will be a privacy or sensory booth on site for those who need it. The privacy booth is a place for those with or children with noise or stimulation sensitivities, those needing to change clothes, or for those who prefer more privacy.
