When the coronavirus vaccine is more widely available, San Francisco plans to open three locations for mass distribution, along with smaller satellite facilities across the city, Mayor London Breed said Friday.
The vaccine hubs will be located at the Moscone Center in the South of Market neighborhood, the City College of San Francisco Ocean Campus in Ingleside, and the San Francisco Produce Market in Bayview — all neighborhoods with high rates of COVID-19 transmission.
The sites could deliver as many as 10,000 doses per day, provided that many were available. Breed said the city is waiting to receive more doses.
