The district began operating the center on the 15th of last month and has been administering Pfizer vaccinations to seniors aged 75 and older. Transportation services such as shuttle buses are also provided.

Staff at the local community service centers also assist with reservations. When visiting the community service center, individuals must bring their ID and mobile phone.
