These are the kinds of mobile clinics that @GovCox was talking about in the state's change in approach. @SaltLakeHealth has done a few already.
People who got their shots today tell me it's MUCH easier than trying to make an appt at a mass vaccine site. #utpol#Utah#COVID19
The people I talked to aren't vaccine hesitant. But their work schedules don't make it easy to go get inoculated. These kind of "pop up" clinics put on by @SaltLakeHealth do. @malihehclinic is going to do them 2x a month for their clients. @fox13#utpol#Utah#COVID19
.@DeidreHenderson told me these types of clinics are absolutely needed and why the state is changing focus to reach herd immunity with the #COVID19 vaccine.
The state will go to businesses/community groups for free to host mobile clinics. @fox13#utpol#Utah
FYI, @SaltLakeHealth right now is working directly with community orgs on pop up clinics. They may soon do random "hey, you have an arm let me stick a needle in it!" clinics.
