Mayor de Blasio visits mass COVID-19 Vaccination Site at 4006 Third Avenue, But Where Were the People to Vaccinated?

 

This COVID-19 site at 4006 Third Avenue has done blood tests for COVID-19 Anti-bodies in 2020, of which I had one done. Today it was the site of the Bronx Mass Vaccination site, but very few people showed up. Mayor de Blasio was to show up at 3 PM to tour the site with reporters, and I was told only invited reporters would be allowed in, so seeing only three people get vaccinated in thirty minutes I decided to cover another story instead. 

Above - is the sign letting people know that the COVID-19 vaccine can be gotten at this site on Third Avenue.

Below - These people wanted a COVID-19 test, but were told this site no longer does that, They were told to go to another nearby site for the COVID-19 test, because only vaccinations were being done at this site on Third Avenue.
