Dear Friend --

To ensure we are reaching our community in neighborhoods that were hardest hit during the pandemic we have launched three new mobile COVID-19 vaccine clinics. These three mobile clinics do not require appointments and are open to residents and workers in Long Beach 16 and older.

Each of the mobile clinics will provide walk-up vaccinations each day, no appointment needed. If you get in line and walk-up appointments are all taken on a particular day, our team will provide you with information on alternative mobile vaccination sites or offer you a future appointment.

The new mobile clinics will take place at the following parks until further notice:

• Admiral Kidd Park, 2125 Santa Fe Ave.; Mondays 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.; and Thursdays 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
• MacArthur Park, 1321 E Anaheim St.; Tuesdays 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.; and Fridays 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
• Houghton Park, 6301 Myrtle Ave.; Wednesdays 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.; and Saturdays 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.

Walk-up appointments are still also available for eligible residents at the Long Beach Convention Center Terrace Theater from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Monday through Saturday.

If you'd prefer to schedule an appointment, know you can always visit the state's appointment portal at MyTurn.ca.gov and sign up for a time and location that is best for you. 

With all of these options for our community, we hope to see our vaccination numbers grow even faster as we beat back this pandemic. Thank you to all those continuing to do their part. 

Thank you and stay safe,

Mayor Robert Garcia
