COVID-19 Vaccine Vans in San Bernardino
San Bernardino County is using mobile vaccination vans to vaccinate those who are 65 years of age or older. A van is parked at a location and after the person is vaccinated they are led to a waiting area where they wait for 15 minutes in case there are any side effects. During this time they also schedule another appointment for the second dose. The vaccine vans have been stationed in Crestline and Lake Arrowhead, but San Bernardino County is also planning to have them in San Bernardino, Chino Hills, Colton, Lucerne Valley, Twentynine Palms, Rancho Cucamonga, Chino, Montclair, Trona and Needles.

Sharp Increase In Gas Prices in San Diego
San Diego has not had gas prices in the $4 range since COVID-19 started, but FOX 5 recently discovered gas prices for $4.19 off of Del Mar Heights Road. Experts in the industry say that the increase in gas prices is partially because of the recent storms across Texas and the Midwest. Another reason for the increase in gas prices is that more people are driving and even taking road trips. Making sure your tire pressure is accurate, your fluids are topped off and you do not have extra weight in your car are good ways to be fuel efficient during an increase in gas prices.
