PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Philadelphia's vaccine mandate for indoor restaurant dining has taken effect.
That means proof of COVID-19 vaccination is required. A negative test no longer will be accepted at restaurants, bars, and anywhere else that serves food indoors.
When the vaccine rule went into effect on January 3rd, it came with a two-week window during which businesses could choose to accept a negative COVID-19 test.
Meanwhile, the Philadelphia School District, the Black Doctors Consortium, and FEMA are working to get more kids vaccinated.
They set up a clinic at Paul Robeson High School at South 42nd and Ludlow streets in West Philadelphia. Thursday, the clinic is scheduled to be open to anyone from 2 to 7 p.m. You don't have to have any connection to the school.
Similar clinics will be held at eight more schools in the district through March.
