Cornell Scott-Hill Health Center Provides Vaccinations at Pop-up Event

Some finally had enough information to feel comfortable. Others wanted to travel safely. Some came for the free pizza.

Whatever the reason, 30 people got their first Covid-19 shots Thursday, after six months of waiting, at a church pop-up that’s part of New Haven’s race to stay ahead of the Delta variant and contain the pandemic by reaching the unvaccinated.

The health department collaborated with several local nonprofits and the Cornell Scott Hill Health Center held the pop-up event, titled “Get the vax, periodtt,” at Saint Paul’s Union American Methodist Episcopal Church at Dwight and Chapel.
