COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution Update
Update March 4, 2021
WEST COVINA, CA - East Valley Community Health Center is committed to delivering
COVID-19 vaccines to its patients and communities quickly and safely. While COVID-19 vaccine supply is still very limited, they hope to be offering appointments more broadly as soon as more vaccines are available. Currently, only individuals in Phase 1A (Health Care Workers and Long-Term Care Residents) and Phase 1B (Individuals 65 and older, Food & Agriculture, Education & Daycare, and Law & Safety personnel) are eligible to get the vaccine. The health center will begin contacting these individuals by text, and phone to schedule vaccination appointments.
COVID-19 vaccines are available by appointment only at East Valley's vaccination clinic sites.
Please do not call or message your doctor about scheduling a vaccine appointment as vaccine invitations are managed exclusively through their COVID-19 vaccine team to ensure the most fair and efficient vaccine distribution possible.
