East Bay physician can't wait, holds drive-thru COVID-19 vaccination event for 500 seniors

The race to vaccinate has been a slow roll out across the Bay Area and the state but there have been some bright spots -- a drive-thru clinic where the COVID-19 vaccine was getting into the arms of hundreds who so desperately want it. It was organized by an East Bay physician who's tired of waiting. "We feel good we're making a dent in this problem," said Dr. Rebecca Parish. The playground at Stanley Middle School in Lafayette was transformed into a drive-thru vaccination clinic for seniors Saturday. Many seniors have been frustrated trying to get the vaccine, like Wayne Hahn. "I'm feeling relieved, I live in Rossmoor they were unable to get the county to come and give it to the 10,000 seniors who live there like me," he said.
