Montage Health launches vaccination clinic at Community Hospital

From Montage Health on February 4, 2021:

Montage Health is launching two COVID-19 vaccination clinic locations for the public —vaccine supply permitting. The clinics, one at Community Hospital in Monterey and the other at Montage Wellness Center in Marina, will have the capacity to vaccinate up to 7,500 community members each week. Vaccination appointments will be dependent on the supply received from the Monterey County Health Department each week.

The first two clinics — for those 75 and older and for healthcare workers in Phase 1a (tiers 1, 2, and 3) and who live or work in Monterey County — are full. No walk-ins will be accepted. The frequency of the vaccine clinics is subject to vaccine availability. Currently, vaccine supply commitments from the state to the county and the county to providers are only made once a week, so Montage Health will not be able to schedule clinics very far in advance.

We know it is frustrating — our hope is that we can get a consistent supply of vaccine to reliably and predictably run both our clinic locations full-time for the community. The populations served at the clinics will be determined by the Monterey County Health Department’s eligible phase(s) and tier(s), whether they focus on age groups, essential worker categories, or other criteria.

Please check our vaccine site often, as new clinics get added as vaccine becomes available. We hope to add more clinic dates later this week. The Monterey Public Health Department also lists vaccine clinic locations and appointments on its website.
