Citi Field is the latest sports stadium to be used as a vaccination site, New York City Mayor Bill del Blasio, announced.

"This is going to be fantastic. This is going to help so many people get vaccinated,” said de Blasio said. “We welcome Queens residents. We welcome all New Yorkers. We even welcome Yankees fans. There is no discrimination.”

The home of the Mets will be a 24/7 vaccination site that will serve 5,000-7,000 people a day starting the week of Jan. 25.

Citi Field is just the latest stadium to join the country's massive vaccination drive that'll include multiple stadiums and ballparks across the country.
