Jessica Scaperotti, a spokeswoman for the city's Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, said 5,478 people were vaccinated on Sunday. She said 6,008 people received the vaccine on Saturday for a weekend total of 11,486.
The health department opened the weekend clinics Nov. 7.
Officials initially set up the clinics to vaccinate middle and high school students.
After a light turnout the first weekend, they expanded to include pregnant women, people ages 4 to 24, anyone who lives with or cares for infants under 6 months old, and adults with underlying medical conditions.
The weekend clinics continue until Dec. 13.
To find clinic locations, call the city's 311 line.
