The Chester County Health Department will be opening appointments for two new clinics that will administer the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. These new sites are:

• Exton Square Mall (in the former Sears store); opens on Tuesday, April 27; hours run from Tuesday-Friday from 12-8 PM and Saturday and Sunday from 9 AM-5 PM
• Longwood Gardens (a drive-through site at the overflow parking area); opens on Thursday, April 29; hours run from Tuesday-Friday from 11 AM-7 PM and Saturday and Sunday from 9 AM-5 PM

Appointments for the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine can be scheduled for both of these locations now.

Combined, these sites will have the capacity to administer 2,000 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine per day.
