As mass vaccination sites have been shutting down, pop-up vaccination clinics have been opening up, at various locations, including fast-food joints.

The Williams Chicken, located off East Illinois Ave in South Dallas County, has partnered with Project Unity begin to offer vaccines to its customers.

Project Unity founder Pastor Ritchie Butler said the event was even more critical with the pace of vaccinations slowing down and the more contagious delta variant of the disease gaining prominence among new cases.

Williams Chicken founder Hiawatha Williams said there was no goal set of how many vaccinations they wanted to administer, but he said this was their way of doing their part no matter how big the impact.

The DFW Hospital Council says that the number of COVID patients at area hospitals has tripled in the past 30 days and that most of their patients are not vaccinated.
