The Marin County COVID-19 Status Update is published weekly and as needed to share important news and resources related to the COVID-19 pandemic response. We remain here for you.

Moderna to offer free COVID vaccine shots to uninsured after emergency ends

As the public health emergency ends, uninsured or underinsured people will be most affected pertaining to COVID-19 resources for protection. Last week, Moderna announced they will continue to offer free COVID-19 vaccines after the public health emergency ends in May and government-bought supplies run out. More on this at CBS NEWS.

Marin Tests Wastewater for Deadly Drugs

Marin County kicked off a pilot program to test wastewater for traces of fentanyl and other high potency drugs in an effort to anticipate and prevent overdose events. The pilot was supported through a County Innovation Grant and will be closely evaluated for potential utility in saving lives. More on this story at Marin Tests Wastewater for Deadly Drugs. Why Doesn't SF? (sfstandard.com).

Long COVID: Study Reveals Persistent Organ Damage

Two studies revealed the link between COVID and persistent organ damage. The study showed residual organ damage one year after diagnosis—even in those who were mildly ill—and the other finding persistent lung abnormalities on chest imaging at 2 years. The researchers recommend that patients with lingering respiratory symptoms after COVID-19 see their physician to identify and manage pulmonary changes and functional impairment. More on this study at COVID's aftermath: Persistent organ damage at 1 year, lung abnormalities at 2 | CIDRAP (umn.edu).
