California announced Wednesday that people 65 and older can get the coronavirus vaccine, giving patients in South San Francisco and other parts of the state some hope. The state announced Wednesday that local jurisdictions could begin vaccinating people over 65 as part of Phase 1B, the first phase of a two-year clinical trial.
California received $3.5 million from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the California Department of Health. California is still in Phase 1A of the rollout, which includes San Francisco, San Mateo, Contra Costa, Alameda and Marin counties. Bay Area counties said they could begin giving the vaccinations to larger populations as soon as they receive more doses. They are administered to about 1,000 people in each county, with the goal of receiving about 3,500 doses by the end of this year.
Some districts have an application form that residents can fill in, while others instruct people to make an appointment. You can also visit the Medical Board of California website or call the toll-free San Francisco County Department of Health hotline, 866-746-6555.
Kaiser Permanente facilities are open to all members and there are a variety of health services in San Francisco, San Mateo, Contra Costa and Marin counties.
Information about each physician is collected during the authentication process and is passed on by the physician to the Kaiser Permanente San Francisco Health Care System and the California Medical Board.
On Tuesday, San Francisco residents will be able to access a website where they can submit their vaccination records and be notified when it is time for them to get vaccinated. You can also visit the Kaiser Permanente South Bay Health System website for more information and to stay up to date. What we know so far is when Bay Area residents can forget their vaccinations, who is vaccinated, and what frequently asked questions. Some primary care providers, pharmacies and people can search their employers, but individuals in later stages cannot. People in the later stages of the vaccination process, such as children under five, will still be eligible for vaccinations, according to Kaiser.
