In Appreciation for Health Care Workers

LONG BEACH —On June 9, as Mayor Garcia looked ahead to California reopening on June 15, he paused to extend the city’s appreciation to its healthcare providers for their tireless efforts and dedication to the Long Beach community. He was joined by City Health Officer Dr. Anissa Davis and CEOs of some Long Beach hospitals to provide an update on COVID-19 and vaccinations in Long Beach. 

More than 250,000 Long Beach residents have now received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine — including more than 16,000 residents who have gotten the vaccine at one of the city’s mobile clinics. Mayor Garcia said the community clinics like those at Admiral Kidd, MacArthur and Houghton Parks are key to the city’s vaccine success and have decreased barriers and increased access for residents.

As of now, 66% of Long Beach residents 16 and older have now been vaccinated. The case rate in the City of Long Beach is now less than one in every 100,000 people.
