COVID-19 Vaccination Push Underway In Barrio Logan

SAN DIEGO, CA — Local health advocacy organizations and the AMR ambulance company plan to collaborate Thursday to sign up residents for a COVID-19 vaccination drive on Saturday in Barrio Logan, the San Diego neighborhood with the county's second-highest rate of confirmed coronavirus cases.

Organizers hope to vaccinate 2,000 people in Barrio Logan between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Saturday, according to a statement released on Wednesday.

Leaders of the effort will speak to volunteers at 9 a.m. Thursday before they fan out into the neighborhood, spreading the word and making vaccination appointments for residents.
