FALLBROOK \u2014 Some 400 residents of North County received the COVID-19 vaccine during a vaccination event hosted at Palomar College\u2019s North Education Center in Fallbrook and coordinated by a variety of San Diego County agencies in an effort known as \u201cOperation Collaboration.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event took place most of the day on Friday, March 12, 2021, providing local residents with the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine.<\/p>\n

Rachel Mason, Chief Executive Officer of the Fallbrook Regional Health District, said the 400 available appointments were reserved in less than three hours after the notification of the event went out on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is absolutely one of the best partnerships we could have formed. The Palomar College team has been exceptional to work with, and tremendously responsive,\u201d said Mason.<\/p>\n

Dr. Jack Kahn, Interim Superintendent\/President of Palomar College, said he was thrilled to witness the participation of numerous regional agencies in bringing about Friday\u2019s clinic.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis pandemic has been a long and difficult experience for everybody, and to see our area taking steps to get back to normal is truly encouraging,\u201d said Dr. Kahn. \u201cThank you to everybody who made this clinic possible, including our Facilities Department, which opened our Fallbrook site to the public.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mason said prior to Friday, there had only been a handful of small \u201cpop-up\u201d vaccination clinics in Fallbrook: \u201cThis is the first large, county-supported vaccination clinic in our area.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said Palomar\u2019s center off Horse Ranch Creek Road was the ideal location because officials wanted to make sure that the rural communities east of I-15 would also have access to the clinic.<\/p>\n

Looking down the line of people who were waiting for their shot on Friday morning, North County Fire District Fire Captain Joey Bradshaw said, \u201cExciting is the first word that comes to mind.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has been a collaborative effort to get the vaccine out to the public\u2014it\u2019s a step toward normalcy for everybody,\u201d said Bradshaw.<\/p>\n

Mason said the event was open to residents of San Diego County, and that she hoped to see a second round of public vaccinations in Fallbrook during the next few weeks: \u201cEverybody is excited\u2014it\u2019s been long overdue for this part of the county,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
