On Friday, April 9, a "pop-up" vaccine clinic in Atascadero helped inoculate a few dozen unhoused North County community members for COVID-19. Hosted by the El Camino Homeless Organization (ECHO), with assistance from the Community Health Centers of the Central Coast (CHC), the clinic used the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine on ECHO dinner and shower program participants. "We determined with Public Health that Johnson & Johnson would be best for that population, because it's a one-time only," ECHO CEO Wendy Lewis told New Times. "We've been working super closely with Public Health and CHC to try to figure out the best way to take vaccines to the population we serve."
