Vaccines available now for 75+; Second-dose clinics are also scheduled this week
Humboldt County Public Health and approved local vaccinators are actively working to schedule vaccinations for county residents aged 75 and over. Of the county’s roughly 10,000 residents in this age group, about half have already started the vaccine series, but the other half have not yet signed up. Anyone 75 years of age or older who has not been contacted for an immunization appointment by their provider or public health should call the Humboldt County Joint Information Center at 707-441-5000.
Public Health, working with health care providers, has scheduled three second dose clinics through Sunday and plans to deliver nearly 1,100 second doses to health care workers, emergency service workers, in-person educators, in-person academic support staff, and care facility staff. This is in addition to the vaccinations offered by local providers to their patients.
Places of worship can resume interior services at reduced capacity
The state of California has put in place interim capacity limits for places of worship in response to recent court rulings. Under the “purple” or widespread level, places of worship can offer indoor services at a capacity of 25%. The California Department of Public Health has announced that it will update industry guidelines for this sector soon.
