Each church will receive 150 doses of Moderna’s coronavirus vaccine. In order to get vaccinated, you must meet the state’s criteria.

After applying first doses at the seven churches, Whittier Street Health Center’s vaccine van will travel to public housing developments and then return to the same churches to administer second doses in April.
