Appointments for COVID-19 vaccine clinics available Saturday for upcoming clinics
Participants must register and have an appointment to get vaccinated
Riverside County will open appointments Saturday (Jan. 23) at noon for next week’s vaccine clinics in Corona, Menifee, Beaumont and Indio. Approximately 10,000 appointments will be available for anyone within Phase 1A (all tiers) and Phase 1B (tier 1), which includes individuals 65 years of age or older. All clinics on Mondays and Fridays will be reserved only for seniors.
Participants will need to show proof of eligibility (badge, business identification, letter of proof from employer) and have an appointment when they arrive at the clinic. If an individual cannot show proof of eligibility or does not have an appointment they will be turned away.
“This is welcome news for so many of our residents who are extremely eager to get the vaccine,” said Board Chair Karen Spiegel, Second District Supervisor. “We are just as eager to get our weekly shipments of vaccine so we can offer more appointments. The county team is doing a tremendous job vaccinating thousands of people at these public health clinics within just a few days of receiving the vaccine.”
Residents who want to get vaccinated can visit the new Riverside University Health System-Public Health vaccine website www.rivcoph.org/COVID-19-Vaccine starting at noon Saturday for an appointment. Residents 65 years of age or older who need help registering for an appointment, can call 2-1-1.
