This is indeed being done, with vaccinations at pop-ups, on buses etc. And the number of daily first shots has stabilized at a somewhat higher level.
Apart from community centres, we need to get the rest of the young people to take action: 18-29s, for example, are at only 74.5% first shot, when 50-59s are at 84.1%. 18-29s are generally Internet-savvy and generally mobile so there should be few excuses for having a 10% lower vaccination rate than their 30-years-older peer group. But a vaccine passport requirement for bars and restaurants might make a big difference with this group ...
