IMPERIAL, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) - Imperial Valley College (IVC) officials say there will be a mass vaccination drive-thru clinic for IVC students and everyone over 12 who have not been vaccinated.

Attendees must bring a picture ID that shows a birthdate. In addition, you must wear a face mask and are encouraged to wear a short-sleeve shirt.

IVC says anyone who receives the vaccine will receive a gift card and a backpack. Those who already have the vaccine show proof of your vaccine card to be entered into a drawing for a PS5, MacBook, or Xbox and will receive a backpack.

Future IVC students attending an Imperial County high school or middle school will receive a backpack and be entered in a drawing for an iPad.

“We are excited to offer a COVID-19 mass vaccination clinic to our community, this is in collaboration with the United States Department of Education and we are targeting our College students and prospective students. The Vaccination Clinic is open to all community members who have not been vaccinated,” stated Dr. Martha Garcia, IVC Superintendent/President.

“We are aware that some of our students are ready to return to campus for face-to-face instruction and support services. Moreover, Imperial Valley College is planning to safely offer about 23% of its Fall 2021 courses to include some face-to-face instruction and will be announcing more details in the coming weeks. The IVC team and Board of Trustees are grateful for the opportunity to partner with the Federal Pharmacy Partnership Program to enable us to provide vaccines to our students and the community.”
