“We are thankful to Penn Medicine for once again providing these terrific opportunities for our fans to become vaccinated if they haven’t already,” said David Buck, Executive Vice President, The Phillies. “We want everyone to be protected against COVID-19, and our upcoming Awareness Days & Vaccination Clinics can do just that.”
“Phillies fans who haven’t yet received a vaccine now have more convenient opportunities, right at the ballpark, to help protect themselves,” said PJ Brennan, Chief Medical Officer, University of Pennsylvania Health System. “Vaccination continues to be our best defense against COVID-19 and our brightest hope for bringing an end to the pandemic.”
The Phillies COVID-19 Awareness Days & Vaccination Clinics in partnership with Penn Medicine will be located on the Suite level near the West VIP Elevator lobby (adjacent to the Boardwalk Eats concessions area in the Left Field Plaza) and available as soon as gates open until the fifth inning on August 13-14 and August 27-28.
Those who receive their vaccines at the ballpark will be given two free tickets to a future Phillies game, with game date selection from any remaining regular season Monday through Friday game in 2021 at Citizens Bank Park. In addition, participants will receive a concession credit for a free hot dog and soda, as well as a Phillies giveaway.
