Several clinics are now in the works, including one in Woodland this Saturday, and a clinic for 200 agricultural workers that will be held Wednesday at a local farm. Additional farmworker clinics will be set up at various worksites, officials said.
Eligible individuals can sign up for appointments on the county's vaccine page.
None of the large health care providers in Yolo County have expanded eligibility to frontline workers in the Phase 1b Tier 1 category yet, so appointments will only be available through the county and not individual providers.
