As summer approaches, The Kern County Latino COVID-19 Task Force continues to work with community partners and agencies to provide FREE COVID-19 vaccination clinics to Kern County’s outlining communities.
This week, five community vaccination clinics are being made available, one of which is the follow up, second dose for Lamont residents who received their first shot in May at Nueva High School.
“We working around the clock to ensure our underserved communities and neighborhoods in Kern County have access to the COVID-19 vaccine,” said Jay Tamsi, co-founder of the Kern County Latino COVID-19 Task Force. “It’s also very important that our community understands that if you absolutely need both doses of Pfizer or Moderna in order to be fully vaccinated. This is our shot at getting back to normal, we can’t mess it up.”
