To ensure equitable access to COVID-19 vaccinations for community members, the Herald Christian Health Center (HCHC) has launched community-based COVID-19 vaccination centers at select locations across the San Gabriel Valley. On Monday, March 15, 2021, from 2:00 p.m. – 2:45 p.m., the City of San Gabriel will host a press conference at the San Gabriel Mission Playhouse (320 W. Mission Drive) to highlight HCHC’s efforts to secure COVID-19 vaccinations for members of our communities. HCHC, Los Angeles County officials, and city elected officials will discuss the vaccination hubs that will develop across the West San Gabriel Valley to serve seniors, teachers, and essential workers. HCHC has also opened the eligibility list to grocery store, restaurant, and other food service employees.

HCHC and the City of Rosemead will work together to reach community members eligible for a vaccine that cannot otherwise schedule appointments via the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health. We are tentatively scheduled to begin vaccinations on Tuesday, March 23, 2021, and will operate weekly on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., in the Rosemead Community Recreation Center (RCRC). HCHC will occupy four rooms inside RCRC, which is currently closed for public use. Vaccinations will be administered by appointment only for about six weeks, with approximately 600 vaccinations per day. City staff will work with HCHC to help register seniors that participate in our weekly lunch distribution program at the Garvey Community Center.

“Ensuring equitable access to the COVID-19 vaccine is critically important for our efforts to combat this global public health crisis,” said Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger. “It is a privilege to join with Herald Christian Health Center and local leaders in the community to support ample distribution of COVID-19 vaccine supply to help our residents stay safe and return to a sense of normalcy.”

“The City is thankful for the opportunity to partner with HCHC to provide the vaccine to our residents. The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly impacted Rosemead, and this is a great opportunity for our residents to be vaccinated,” said Rosemead Mayor Sandra Armenta.
