"They are only providing enough vaccines for those who already received the first dose"

DIXON, CA (MPG) - If you received a COVID-19 vaccine last month at the pop-up free clinic held at Dixon High School, it is time to get your second shot. The injection clinic will be on Wednesday, March 17, 9 am to 4 pm at the school again and is only for the 1,000 Solano County residents who got their first Moderna vaccine dose there on February 17.

"They are only providing enough vaccines for those who already received the first dose," said Yvonne McCluskey, a local volunteer who helped coordinate the first vaccine clinic at the high school.

"They need to come at the exact same time as they got their first injection," she said. "They also need to bring their card that was issued at their first appointment. They were given the Moderna vaccine and it has the information on that and they will complete that card for them," she said. It is helpful if people keep that card with them if they are traveling as it is proof that they had their vaccination, she advised.

The effort was put together through a partnership with Solano County Health Department, Kaiser Permanente, Medic Ambulance, and the City of Dixon. It was open to seniors 75 and up or 65 to 74 with underlying conditions.

"This one will be so much faster because people won't have to fill out all the forms," McCluskey said, and who expressed gratitude for all of the people who worked to make the local event happen. She said there were 22 volunteers including Spanish speaking.

"It was amazing. The clinic ran beautiful. " she said.
