Drive-Up COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic at GVCH booked for those 75 and older
GOLETA, Calif. - A sense of relief and perhaps a sore arm for hundreds of people, 75 and older, in the South County.
750 local residents stopped by the Drive-Up COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic Thursday outside Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital (GVCH). Each person received a dose of the Pfizer COVID vaccine.
This group is among the first in the Santa Barbara/Goleta area's general population to receive the coveted vaccine.
Public Relations Manager, Maria Zate, said another 750 will do the same Friday.
NewsChannel learned that one third of the trained experts administering the vaccines are retired nurses and doctors who are volunteering their time during the COVID crisis.
