Marin’s Vaccine Clinic Operating Smoothly

Our Point of Dispensing vaccine clinic - or “POD” – in San Rafael is serving up to 1,000 people per day providing first doses to a wide array of health care workers (and second doses to those who receive their first dose a few weeks ago).

Here is an insider view of our POD and more information about our planning efforts to serve the next phase of distribution, including the many older adults in our community.

Marin Leaders Advocate for Larger Vaccine Supply

Today, the Marin County Board of Supervisors sent a letter to Governor Gavin Newsom advocating for additional vaccine supply to be allocated to Marin County.

Marin County continues Phase 1A (health care workers) vaccine distribution and is planning its advance to Phase 1B when supplies allow. Due to scarce vaccine allocation and limited resources, we are distributing vaccine in Marin County based on recommendations from CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, prioritizing 1) prevention of morbidity and mortality and 2) preservation of societal functioning. 

With 1 in 4 Marin residents over the age of 65, a group that is at higher risk of adverse outcomes from COVID-19, we know how important it is to be able to vaccinate this group quickly. Unfortunately, Marin’s vaccine allocation from the state is determining how quickly we can move in vaccinating our older adults. We have not received the vaccine supply necessary to launch Phase 1B in Marin County.
