Riverside County will open a COVID-19 vaccination clinic at the Palm Springs Convention Center Friday, and all appointments were snapped up Thursday within 90 minutes.
County spokeswoman Brooke Federico said the appointment window opened up about 10:30 this morning and all 350 spots for Friday were filled by noon. She said another 500 appointments are expected to be available each day starting next week.
“The number of appointments available is subject to vaccine supply,” she said. Santa Clara-based Curative Inc., which has been tapped to oversee numerous testing sites in Riverside County, will be handling appointments and immunizations at the site, which will operate from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, according to the Riverside University Health System.
