By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Port Hueneme-- Community members helping the environment was the centerpiece item, Saturday, February 27, as the Friends of Ormond Beach led the charge with other community organizations to clean debris off the sand and lagoon areas and make the place beautiful.

Oxnard-- In his report to the city council, March 2, City Manager Alex Nguyen said, like the entire country, Ventura County is focused on delivering the Covid-19 vaccine to the public. Thanks to the county public health department and chief executive officer’s leadership,

there are larger vaccination sites available in Oxnard. “Specifically, the most recent one is at Rose Avenue in the Babies R Us building,” Nguyen said. “There has been one in South Oxnard at the public health offices at Centerpoint Mall. As a reminder, all of these require registration/appointments. You have to do that, and it’s available online.”

City staff can assist people who need help making an appointment. Based on the current dosage availability coming from the Feds through the state and down to the counties, the large site at Babies R Us can handle up to 2,000 doses daily, provided they’re provided that many doses each week.
