Two new COVID-19 vaccination sites are arriving in Del Mar and San Marcos.
A super vaccination post will open on February 12 at Del Mar Fairgrounds, 2260 Jimmy During Blvd. The drive-up and walk-up website, operated by Scripps Health, will be open from Friday to Sunday and may increase to 5,000 daily doses. Appointments are mandatory.
The COVID-19 vaccination post in San Marcos is now immunizing seniors 65 and older, especially those who do not have access to a computer or someone to help them.
When fully operational, the site will be offering around 500 servings daily, from 7 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday. The clinic is located at 1706 Descanso Ave. in San Marcos and requires appointments that can only be made by calling 2-1-1 San Diego. This San Marcos clinic will be open from Monday to Friday, from 7 am to 5 pm, including holidays.
The clinic is a public-private effort between Gary and Mary West Foundation, West PACE, Gary and Mary West Senior Dental Center, West Health, San Diego County, San Marcos City and 211 San Diego.
All county vaccination substations and dispensation points, or PODs, are currently vaccinating people in Phase 1A – primarily healthcare professionals – and people 65 and over in Phase 1B. All require appointments that can be made at vaccinationsuperstationsd.com.
How to Request a Second Dose Consultation
If you were unable to schedule your second dose at the time you scheduled or received your first, you should receive an email on how to schedule your second dose within five days of the expiration date.
If you do not receive the email five days before the due date, you can complete a form with 2-1-1 San Diego, so that they can schedule their second appointment.
Before doing this, make sure you have checked all of your email folders, including the junk / spam folder, before submitting a request using the form.
In addition, county-funded community health workers, known as prosecutors, will be reaching out to people aged 65 and over in National City, Chula Vista, Imperial City and San Ysidro directly to help them schedule vaccination appointments.
The Metropolitan Transit System is offering free travel for people with proof of vaccination appointment. 2-1-1 San Diego and promoters can also arrange transportation.
To date, more than 703,000 doses of COVID-19 have been delivered to the region. Of these, almost 551,000 have been administered, including more than 95,000 San Diegans who are fully vaccinated and 15.5 percent of the population over 16 who have received at least one dose. More information on vaccine distribution can be found on the county’s vaccination panel.
