RIVERSIDE, Calif. (KABC) The line of health care workers and those eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine wrapped around the block outside a clinic in Riverside Wednesday morning. Some people said they had to wait for more than an hour and a half. What s the point of making an appointment if we all have to wait in this line, said one Temecula resident whose mother tried to sign up for an appointment online, only to be told she was placed on a waiting list and had to register again later.
Riverside County health officials Monday reported 8,434 newly confirmed coronavirus cases from over the weekend, along with 32 additional COVID-19 deaths and an overall reduction in active cases.
