Don't Miss The (Mobile Vaccination) Bus, Get A $50 Gift Card

NEW ROCHELLE, NY — A mobile pop-up vaccination clinic will make a stop in New Rochelle on Friday.

Faced with increasing concerns about a growing sense that a new pandemic of the unvaccinated is looming, officials are taking measures to get as many eligible people vaccinated as possible. Civic leaders, including New Rochelle Mayor Noam Bramson, Congressman Jamaal Bowman, New York Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, New York State Senator Shelley Mayer and New Rochelle City Councilwoman Yadira Ramos-Herbert came to the bus stop a little early to encourage unvaccinated members of the community to get on the bus.

"COVID rates are once again rising here in New Rochelle and across our region as the highly-contagious delta variant spreads," Bramson said in a message to constituents on Thursday. "If you haven’t already been vaccinated, now is the time to protect yourself and your family."

The July 23 vaccination clinic will be at 467 North Avenue in New Rochelle from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. WMCHealth will administer the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. Gift cards in the amount of $50 will be given to anyone receiving a COVID-19 vaccine at the clinic (while they last; the gift card supply is limited).

Representatives fluent in English and Spanish will be available. No out-of-pocket costs to participants and children ages 12-17 are eligible for vaccination w/parent or guardian. Walk-ins will be welcome with a vaccination appointment recommended.

"The vaccine is safe, effective, and free," the mayor added. "Hundreds of millions of people have already been vaccinated and now enjoy the freedom and peace of mind that comes with protection from COVID."
