Humboldt County Public Health and its health care partners are announcing walk-in vaccination clinic hours from 4 to 7 p.m. on Friday, April 16, and Sunday, April 18 at the Arcata Community Center located at 321 Dr. M.L.K., Jr. Pkwy. in Arcata. Those interested can register onsite to receive the Pfizer vaccine. Please note that openings are first-come, first-served, and vaccine supply could run out.

Appointments for other Pfizer clinics are available this weekend through MyTurn.ca.gov, and all county residents age 16 and over can register. 

Johnson & Johnson Vaccine Still on Hold
