SACRAMENTO COUNTY, Calif. — The Meadowview pop-up clinic was appointment based but it was the first clinic in Sacramento County where walk-ups were offered as well, according to Sacramento County Public Health Officer Dr. Olivia Kasirye.
Kasirye said the clinic allotted 20 vaccines for walk-ups, which means people could actually walk up to the clinic, sign up and get a vaccine shot that day
