After weeks of waiting, those 50 and older are eligible to receive their COVID-19 vaccinations.
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. — It was quite the sight on Saturday morning at Direct Relief’s headquarters, as volunteers from Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics delivered dozens of doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.
“We are honored to have them here with us today to use our facility,” Direct Relief pharmacist Alycia Clark said.
Many of those that received their first shots included food and agriculture workers, who’ve been on the front lines serving society throughout the pandemic.
“This is the epitome of helping those who’ve been slammed the hardest by COVID,” Direct Relief president and CEO Thomas Tighe said.
