A new vaccination site in Covina is offering about 1,000 single-dose Johnson and Johnson vaccine shots Saturday.

It'll run from nine in the morning until four in the afternoon at the Covina Foothill Transit Center on north Citrus Avenue.

Deputy city manager Angel Carrillo tells KNX 1070 News this is a great way for people in the community to get vaccinated who don't want to drive all the way to Dodger Stadium or deal with the nearby Fairplex in Pomona.

"We really just need to do what we can vaccinations and making them available closer to where people live," Carillo says.

He says the plan is for the city to host at least two more vaccination clinics in the future.

Anyone who's currently eligible for the vaccine in LA County can make an appointment for tomorrow's clinic if they're still available.

You can make an appointment on the Covina city website.
