Hyperlocal COVID-19 Vaccine Pop-Ups Held At Maxwell Street Market, Englewood Food Pantry

CHICAGO (CBS) -- City health officials are trying to make COVID vaccines more accessible for those who have not yet received shots.

There were several pop-up vaccination sites set up around the city on Sunday, including one at the Maxwell Street Market on the Near West Side.

Outdoor tents were set up there so shoppers and browsers could stop in and just roll up their sleeves and get a free vaccination.

Meanwhile in Englewood on Sunday, a combination community food pantry and pet supply drive at 75th Street and Stewart Avenue also offered COVID-19 vaccinations.

Other pop-ups took place at parks, churches, and food pantries.

There will be other hyperlocal vaccination events in neighborhoods across Chicago through Friday.
