Riverside County plans to open approximately 10,000 appointments on Saturday, January 23, at 12 p.m. for next week’s vaccine clinics in Menifee, Corona, Beaumont, and Indio.
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 for seniors only.
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. Individuals who cannot show proof of eligibility or do not have an appointment will be turned away.
“This is welcome news for so many of our residents who are extremely eager to get the vaccine,” said Riverside County Board of Supervisors Chair Karen Spiegel. “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 Riverside University Health System — Public Health vaccine website, www.rivcoph.org/COVID-19-Vaccine, for an appointment starting at 12 p.m. on January 23. Residents 65 years of age or older who need help registering for an appointment can call 2-1-1.
