Monterey Park Hospital nurse Liliana Ocampo gives Sister Virginia Stehly her second COVID-19 vaccine at the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet independent living center in Los Angeles on Wednesday, March 3, 2021 during a pop-up vaccination clinic.

The Boys & Girls Clubs of the West San Gabriel Valley, in partnership with Monterey Park Hospital AHMC, coordinated coronavirus vaccinations for more than 50 retired nuns at the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet independent living center. The club’s RV rolled up in front of the center to administer the second Moderna COVID-19 vaccines to residents at the center, not far from Los Angeles’ Historic Koreatown.

The sisters range in age from 65 to 100 years old. In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the club recently turned its RV into a mobile pop-up vaccination clinic on wheels, perfect for such missions of pandemic mercy.
