COVID-19 Vaccine Update:
The State of California has now authorized all healthcare systems statewide to vaccinate people age 65 and older, in addition to continuing vaccinations for healthcare workers and residents of long-term care facilities. While this authorization has been made, unfortunately, many providers are not yet able to meet that demand as of now.
At this time, Alameda County has only expanded to people 75 and older, but different healthcare providers are also receiving vaccine doses from the State, so some may have expanded to 65 and older. Please contact your healthcare provider for individual vaccination guidance.
For more information about the vaccine, please visit: https://covid-19.acgov.org/vaccines
If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact my office at 408-262-2501.
Sincerely,
Alex Lee Assemblymember, 25th District
