Nearly 6% of the county’s population remains only partially vaccinated, and public health officials warn that partial vaccination can leave a person vulnerable to infection with COVID-19, especially variants like Delta. Comprehensive vaccination is the most effective way to prevent serious illness and death from COVID-19, and to protect children and other community members who cannot get vaccinated. Full vaccination is performed two weeks after one dose of Johnson & Johnson vaccine or the second dose of a two-dose series of Pfizer or Moderna vaccine.
This week, public health vaccination clinics are scheduled at sites across the county, including Willow Creek. COVID-19 vaccines are also available from health care providers in eastern Humboldt.
