The city of San Francisco is opening up a second vaccine center in the Mission District at a union headquarters at 18th and Capp streets. The site will provide about 200 shots per day.
It’s the city’s fourth neighborhood vaccination site and will be operated in partnership with the Latino Task Force, a coalition made up of dozens of community-based organizations.
“To have a local community-run-and-implemented site means that you will have that extra touch if you have questions, if you’re scared, if you speak Spanish, and we’re local,” said Valerie Tulier-Laiwa of the Latino Task Force.
She says the Mission sites have become models for other community groups who want to reach essential workers.
The new site is planned to be open Thursday through Saturday, 11 a.m. – 6 p.m, by appointment and with limited drop-in availability.
