Chico Community COVID-19 Clinic Expands Operations, Appointments
Recommended
BUTTE COUNTY, CA – Butte County Public Health (BCPH) will expand operations at the Chico
Community COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic for the month of November, every Monday and Tuesday,
for the Moderna vaccine. The clinic will remain open every Wednesday afternoon, offering the Pfizer
and J&J vaccine. The clinic will be closed the week of Thanksgiving.
In order to maintain social distancing and to meet building capacity requirements, appointments are
strongly recommended for the Chico Community Clinic – a limited number of walk-ins may be
available if space allows.

system called MyTurn.ca.gov. For assistance booking online, residents may call the Butte County
COVID-19 Call Center at 530-552-3050.
BCPH is working with local partners to add additional clinic days and locations. Once these new
clinics are available, the public will be informed through all media outlets.
