MODESTO, Calif. Stanislaus County’s walk-in model for coronavirus vaccinations is about as simple as they come: show up to the clinic, wait in line and get your vaccine. To that tune, the county has vaccinated more than 38,000 people with their four mass clinics.
“I think it has been successful so far. We pretty much run out of all the doses we have allocated for each day,” said Kamlesh Kaur, Stanislaus County Public Health spokesperson. “Even on the days where we post online that there is no line, on those days as well, we are able to fulfill or administer all the vaccines that we have allocated for that site on that day.”
