The state of California has allocated a total of 3,550 doses of COVID-19 vaccine to Humboldt County for next week, 1,600 Moderna and 1,950 Pfizer. Public Health will use 500 at its second mass vaccination clinic, and the rest will be allocated to local approved vaccinators.

- Phase 1A health workers
- Humboldt County residents aged 70 and over
- Emergency service workers
- Kindergarten to Grade 12 and early childhood education, including educators and support staff
- Licensed child care providers.
Healthcare providers who are licensed vaccinators speak directly to their eligible patients.
