A vaccine for COVID-19 has arrived in San Bernardino County, and our healthcare workers have been getting immunized. Ernest Figueroa answers some questions about the roll out of the vaccine…
There will be three primary distribution methods of the vaccine: Direct shipments to healthcare providers; Department of Public Health and Office of Emergency Services distribution; and skilled nursing facilities/long term care facilities in partnership with CVS/Walgreens.
The county is working in partnership with health providers in the county to administer the vaccinations as they become available. Many county locations currently being used for COVID-19 testing will also eventually offer the COVID-19 vaccination when it is ready for the community. Additionally, a network of health providers in the county will administer vaccinations throughout the various allocation phases.
