Arguably, no more important shot will be made at Monday’s Flyers final regular-season game.

The single-dose Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine will be available to all ticketed fans and employees at Wells Fargo Center through Penn Medicine before and during the game.

Health-care providers will start administering shots as soon as the doors open at 6 p.m. and continue until 7:30 outside Section 104 in the southwest food hall on the main concourse.

Protection from the deadly virus won’t be the only upside. Anyone who gets a shot will receive a voucher for two free tickets to a Flyers game next season, as well as an “I Took My Shot” T-shirt, hand sanitizer, and a sticker, according to an announcement Saturday.

Meanwhile, the team will concentrate on making other vital shots that night: those on goal against the New Jersey Devils.
