In coordination with Santa Barbara County Public Health Department, UC Santa Barbara held a one-day mobile vaccination clinic for students on May 6.Â
Like the May 6 clinic, all mobile clinics are offering the Moderna vaccine, with the option to receive Johnson & Johnson if a one-shot vaccination is preferred.Â

The first UCSB-hosted mobile clinic ran from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and primarily provided the Moderna vaccine. Students also had the choice to receive the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, according to Van Do-Reynoso, the Santa Barbara County public health director.Â
Around 289 students made an appointment to get vaccinated at the clinic via UCSBâs Student Health Service (SHS) Gateway Portal, Do-Reynoso said, but the county equipped the clinic with 200 extra doses for potential walk-ins.Â
