A new vaccine clinic begins operations on April 29 at the Outlets of Lake Elsinore mall. The clinic, which is being operated by Curative, replaces a drive-up site that had been established at the Lake Elsinore Diamond Stadium months ago under the direction of the Riverside County Public Health Department. The move was initiated, in part, because the Lake Elsinore Storm will be using the stadium for its upcoming baseball season.
“We are so thankful to the city of Lake Elsinore and support staff for the use of the stadium for both COVID-19 testing and vaccinations,” said Kim Saruwatari, director of Public Health. “They have been a great community partner.”
Riverside County Supervisor Kevin Jeffries also noted how strong community partnerships have helped residents get vaccinated at convenient locations. “Lake Elsinore has been a great partner with Riverside County over the past year with both testing centers and vaccination clinics, and we appreciate their assistance,” said Jeffries. “With this new location right off the freeway at the Outlets of Lake Elsinore Mall should also provide easy access to vaccines for residents all along the 15 corridor.”
The outlet mall site is located at 17600 Collier Ave., Suite H177, Lake Elsinore.
The county offers three types of vaccines at its clinics: Moderna, Pfizer, and Johnson and Johnson. Those 16 and older are eligible to be vaccinated. Individuals 16 and 17 years old must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian and must receive the Pfizer vaccine.
Appointments are not required but encouraged. To make an appointment, visit www.rivcoph.org/covid-19-vaccine.
