Vaccine Clinic Closing At Lake Elsinore Outlets

LAKE ELSINORE, CA — A Currative COVID-19 vaccine clinic located at the Outlets at Lake Elsinore is closing operations, it was announced Friday.

The location will shut down Saturday.

It is one of two Currative locations tapped for closure, officials said. The vaccine clinic located in the former Riverside Sears building was closing end-of-day Friday, but a new location was being sought for it. The new Riverside location will be announced as soon as final details can be worked out, county officials said.

“These locations have provided a critically needed service that has benefitted the community,” said Kim Saruwatari, director of Riverside County Public Health. “Their efforts have saved lives.”

Riverside County health officials have focused recent vaccine efforts using several mobile vaccine teams, rather than using fixed locations to administer vaccines. Officials have said the mobile teams provide the flexibility that enables Public Health to focus on individual communities or neighborhoods, then move quickly to other areas where there is a need.

More than 2.4 million vaccine doses have been administered in Riverside County between the county-operated clinics and those run by the community partners. For more information on clinic locations or to make an appointment, click www.rivcoph.org/covid-19-vaccine or call 951-358-5000.
