A large-scale drive-thru community vaccination clinic is set to open this weekend at the Delaware County Community College for as long as needed.

This week we're going to do about 4,500 doses over the weekend with the site, which has a maximum capacity of about 6,000 a day," said Dr. Monica Taylor, vice-chair of Delaware County Council.

"We got just about 10,000 vaccine doses today, which is the most we've ever gotten in a week," said Councilman Kevin Madden. In Bucks County, Commissioner Bob Harvie reports they also received about 10,000 doses for this week. "We've been told the amount we get next week will be pretty much what we get a month or so after that," said Harvey. The problem is they haven't been told how much they'll be getting, so they can't say if they will be able to have all the people vaccinated in Phase 1A by the end of March.
