Pop-up vaccination clinic in Gilroy targets Latino seniors, farmworkers
KTVU s Ann Rubin reports.
GILROY, Calif. - A one-day pop-up vaccination clinic was held in Gilroy on Friday specifically for people 65 years years and older.
The hope is to get COVID under control in the area with the highest rates of infection in Santa Clara County.
All eligible recipients had to do was show up, get a wristband, and get their vaccine dose.
It was the easiest ever. I just got up, walked across the railroad tracks, got in line, and here I am, said Linda Stites of Gilroy.
Gardner Health Services already has a clinic in Gilroy and COVID testing had shown a problem.

The Independent Oversight Committees ask DDD questions about the reports. They do not work for DDD and get to choose their own members. That is what independent means.
Reading the reports can take a long time. A committee member can spend 10 hours a month reading hundreds of reports. It is their job to point out Arizona could be fixing the problems in the reports. Doing their job is getting harder.
