Santa Clara County offers drop-in COVID-19 vaccines for limited time

SANTA CLARA COUNTY, Calif. (KRON) - It's 'drop-in week' in Santa Clara County for COVID-19 vaccinations.

Most county health vaccination sites will be allowing drop-ins from April 27-May 2 for any county resident ages 16 and up who needs a COVID-19 vaccine.

If you're worried about a long line, you can still make a same-day appointment. Vaccination sites will stop drop-ins once supply and capacity runs out.

“Now is the time to get vaccinated,” said Dr. Marty Fenstersheib, COVID-19 Testing and Vaccine Officer for the County of Santa Clara. “Join more than one million of your neighbors who have already started their vaccinations and stop by one of our clinics today. Vaccines are absolutely critical to protecting our community, and we won’t rest until every eligible person in our community has the chance to get vaccinated.”
