THANK YOU!

Special thanks to the many disaster service workers serving at our vaccine sites! We appreciate the messages we’ve been receiving about positive experiences at our sites. Here’s an email from today:

“My 86-year-old mom received a Pfizer vaccination today at Ventura County Fairgrounds. We were both pleasantly surprised with our experience. The staff including the parking lot employee was professional, kind and very helpful. We arrived early and the team kindly moved my mom forward. The person who gave her the shot was very good and had wonderful social skills. We arrived around 11:30 and pulled out of the Anacapa lot at noon. We felt safe and very grateful. Thank you so very much. We wish you and all of your team members good health.”
