COVID-19 vaccination clinic at Heritage High to close Friday

The County-run COVID-19 vaccination clinic at Heritage High School will be closed as of Friday, Riverside County health officials announced. The county is transitioning from the larger clinics to smaller locations operated by mobile teams, according to a news release.

Nearly 56,000 doses have been administered at Heritage High School since January. The vaccination clinic at Albert A. Chatigny Sr. Community and Recreation Center in Beaumont also is closing.

“Both of these locations have served their communities well, and tens of thousands of residents have been given their vaccine by dedicated and professionals working there,” said Dr. Geoffrey Leung, public health officer for Riverside County. “We also wanted to thank officials from the Perris Union High School District and the city of Beaumont, which has been a great community partner.”

The only county-run vaccination clinic after Friday will be in Moreno Valley. But a new clinic operated by OptumServe is opening this week in the Promenade Mall in Temecula, 40820 Winchester Road. It will operate Wednesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
