Marin County Launches Drive-Through COVID-19 Vaccination Site

The county plans to vaccinate up to 1,500 people a day at the Larkspur Landing ferry terminal.

SAN RAFAEL, CA — Marin County is launching a new drive-through vaccination location for COVID-19 vaccinations at the Larkspur Landing ferry terminal beginning Sunday.

Through a partnership with Curative and the Golden Gate Bridge Highway and Transportation District, the county plans to administer up to 1,500 doses a day at the site, though supply issues will limit it to 200 vaccinations per day during the first week. The drive-through site will provide easier access to vaccinations for older adults and residents with mobility issues.

“Providing a vaccination location that is accessible by personal vehicle, paratransit and public transit options is an important factor in removing barriers to the vaccine ensuring health equity for our most vulnerable residents,” Marin County Public Health Officer Dr. Matt Willis said in a news release.
