L.A. Care Health Plan and Blue Shield of California Promise Health Plan announced Monday they will operate 16 outdoor pop-up COVID-19 vaccine clinics through May 1 in partnership with USC Pharmacy.
The clinics will administer free COVID-19 Johnson & Johnson vaccines starting Wednesday. The one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine is only approved for people 18 years old and over.
