A Riverside County-run coronavirus vaccination clinic in Beaumont is closed for the rest of Friday, April 16, after a fight between two female nurses, county officials said.
The incident, which affected 245 appointments, occurred at the Albert A. Chatigny Senior Community Recreation Center, 1310 Oak Valley Parkway. The clinic is expected to reopen Monday, April 19.
The fight, which was reported about 10:16 a.m., involved a “personal issue between the two nurses,” said Marcedes Cashmer, a Beaumont police spokeswoman.
One nurse, who was taken to the hospital and later released, was cited on suspicion of assault but not jailed, said Cashmer, adding she did not have the nurse’s name.
The other nurse complained of pain, but was not hospitalized, Cashmer said. Witnesses intervened in the altercation, she said.
Shane Reichardt, a county emergency management department spokesman, said via email that staff “was working to resolve” a personnel matter when “it escalated to a physical altercation between two contract nurses and staff intervened.”
“The clinic will remain closed for the remainder of the day …” Reichardt said Friday afternoon.
Both of the nurses who fought were women, said Reichardt, who declined to release their names. No vaccines or equipment was damaged, he said.
“Some of the nurses were working their last day on their contract assignment so it was decided to close the clinic and start with a fresh team on Monday,” Reichardt added.
The Chatigny clinic, which is open weekdays, is one of four fixed-site vaccination clinics run by the county’s public health department.
Last month, the county administered its one millionth vaccine dose at the Beaumont center.
