The sites will be available to eligible residents, including people over the age of 65, food service workers, farmworkers, animal agriculture workers, emergency services workers, education and childcare workers, healthcare workers and residents of long-term care facilities.
Appointments must be made in advance and people getting vaccinated should bring identification to prove that they are a Council District 7 resident, which includes Pacoima, Sylmar, North Hills, Mission Hills, Lakeview Terrace, Sunland, Tujunga and Shadow Hills.
The pop-up sites will be located at:
