FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) Hundreds of cars snaked their way through the College of the Sequoias Visalia campus parking lot during another Tulare County mass vaccination event on Wednesday.
COS now joins Porterville College and the International Agri-Center in providing the county much-needed space for the drive-through events.
In addition to hosting two clinics this week, COS is also supplying about 30 non-medical volunteers each day.
Like Porterville College, they are exploring the possibility of letting nursing students administer the shot. We love the communities and the region that we serve, COS President Brent Calvin said. I think we ve all been kind of itching to do something in this effort, so this was an opportunity that a bunch of us could help out. So we re really, really excited about it.

Excitement was so high that some people showed up ahead of their scheduled appointment.
So by the time Jerry Sisemore drove up for his appointment on Friday afternoon, there wasn t much of a wait at all. (I) pre-registered online yesterday, came out here today, and we re just flying through here, Sisemore said. It s a very exciting day here in Tulare County, a very exciting time, Tulare County Public Health s Carrie Monteiro said.
