LB Convention Center To Hold Vaccine Clinic for Long Beach Food And Grocery Workers

On March 5, the  Long Beach Health Department will hold a super-sized vaccine clinic for Long Beach food and grocery workers at the Convention Center.. Over 3,000 restaurant workers, bodega and market employees, cooks, and anyone working directly in the food industry will be vaccinated..

The city is contacting restaurants and markets directly to sign-up employees and pulling workers from its VaxLB system. The city is making progress on getting all food workers vaccinated as it moves closer to fully and safely reopening  this important part of the economy. 

“Our food economy is critical to our success, and we are going to make sure it’s safe and workers are vaccinated,” said Mayor Garcia.
