Vaccine Clinic to Serve East Palo Alto
The County of San Mateo and the Ravenswood Family Health Center today announced they will expand local COVID-19 vaccine opportunities in East Palo Alto to serve seniors and essential workers who live in the hard-hit city.
The expanded partnership with Ravenswood – a community-based Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) that has provided medical and dental care to the community for two decades – and the city of East Palo Alto to open a community vaccine site the week of March 8 is expected to help overcome barriers to vaccine access.
Appointments will be available to eligible East Palo Alto residents. Ravenswood is planning a second event for eligible residents of the Belle Haven neighborhood of Menlo Park the same week.
The County and East Palo Alto, along with additional local partners, will provide outreach services to help sign up as many eligible residents as possible. The goal is to ultimately operate community events on a regular weekly basis, dependent upon vaccine supply.
