Beginning today, May 24, the City of Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services will open an evening COVID-19 vaccination clinic at the Long Beach City College (LBCC) Pacific Coast Campus, on weekdays.
Beginning today, May 24, residents can get vaccinated at Long Beach City College’s Pacific Coast Campus on weekdays from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The clinic is a partnership between LBCC and the Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services, who also announced vaccine clinics at local schools today.
“Expanding vaccine availability to the evening hours makes getting the vaccine easier than ever,” Mayor Robert Garcia said. “We will continue to bring new clinics with different operating hours into the community.”
The evening vaccine clinics will take place in Parking Lot One on the corner of Orange Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway.
The clinic can vaccinate approximately 300 people per day and will carry both the two-dose Pfizer and Moderna vaccines as well as the single-dose Johnson and Johnson/Janssen vaccine.
Vaccines will be available via walk-up or appointment. Minors must submit a signed consent form or their parent/guardian must give verbal consent order to receive the vaccine.
“We continue to identify more ways to make vaccine accessible to everyone,” said Kelly Colopy, director of the Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services. “We hope this opportunity, in addition to our other neighborhood sites and our incentive program, will encourage more people to get vaccinated.”
