SANTA MARIA, Calif. - The Santa Barbara County Health is working with VTC Enterprises in Santa Maria to help those in need receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
The group that helps those with disabilities is very excited about the vaccine clinic set for Thursday from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
For most of them, finding a way to get to a vaccine clinic isn’t easy, and in some cases, impossible.
Another highlight is VTC managers believe people feel more relaxed to come to a place they know for the vaccine.
Managers say the next vaccine clinic at VTC Enterprises is in 28 days.
