SAN JOSE, Calif. - A new mass vaccination clinic is now open at the Eastridge Mall in East San José, in the hopes of ensuring more equitable access to people living in that part of the city as well as further south on Gilroy.
The clinic at the Aloha Roller Rink, which opened Friday, is located in an area of the Santa Clara County, which has seen some of the highest rates of COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths.
Patients can drop in at the converted rink on a first-come, first-served basis. Tickets will be provided to those who meet eligibility requirements.
