Philly started allowing walk-ins at FEMA vaccine site to improve equity. It might be working.

White recipients made up 36.7% of Convention Center vaccinations Wednesday and Thursday, down from the 57.7% of vaccinations the site had previously administered.

People wait at 12th and Race Streets, outside the Pennsylvania Convention Center, Wednesday as the city began accepting walk-ins for vaccination. Residents from 22 under-vaccinated zip codes in the city were able to walk up and wait in line with a vaccine instead of making appointments online.
