COVID-19 vaccines now available to the public at LAX
LOS ANGELES - You can now get vaccinated while waiting for your plane at Los Angeles International Airport.
On Thursday, airport officials announced that free vaccines will be available to those 18 years and older. No appointment is needed, nor do people need to provide proof of insurance.
The clinic will only be administering the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
The on-site clinic will be open from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday outside Terminal 6 on the lower/arrivals level, adjacent to the airport's COVID-19 rapid test laboratory.
