Berkeley mass vaccination site relocates to San Pablo Avenue
As part of a transition toward neighborhood vaccination settings, residents may now receive their vaccinations at a mass vaccination site in West Berkeley.
People can get vaccinated with or without an appointment at the new site, which operates in a parking lot by the Berkeley Adult School at 1701 San Pablo Ave. from Tuesday to Saturday between 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The site replaces the mass vaccination site at Golden Gate Fields, which closed June 26 and was operated by the city and Curative Inc.
“Coordinated by the City of Berkeley on a parking lot owned by Berkeley Unified School District and run by a private medical provider, Curative Inc., the consolidated vaccine and testing site also reflects the partnerships among public and private parties that have been essential to fighting the pandemic,” a city of Berkeley press release reads.
Everyone ages 12 years or older may receive the Pfizer vaccine while those 18 years or older may receive the Moderna vaccine, the press release adds.
People can also schedule and receive their second dose at the site even if they received their first dose elsewhere. In addition, the site will also provide COVID-19 testing services at a kiosk.
