Vaccination Progress from Dr. Matt Willis
This weekend we took a major step forward in putting the pandemic behind us. On Saturday and Sunday 2,367 of our Marin County children ages 5-11 were vaccinated against COVID-19. None of the over 2,000 children vaccinated had any serious adverse reaction.
For parents who couldn’t find an appointment yet, be assured that over the coming days and weeks more vaccines will be heading our way, and into public health vaccine clinics, pediatricians' offices, and pharmacies. We’ll be opening more appointments as soon as we have more vaccines.
We want to thank the many partners that stepped forward again to support our vaccination efforts. This weekend was a great example of the way we have tackled this pandemic all along. Across five sites—two schools, two community sites, and one at Northgate Mall—staff from schools, hospitals and medical offices worked alongside county staff and pharmacy partners to get the job done. And most importantly parents and children stepped forward to fill those sites and gained the protection of the vaccine.
We’re all fortunate to be part of a community that values the science and recognizes the shared benefit of protecting ourselves against this virus.

Save the Date: Public Health Update w/Marin County Office of Education
Now that site-based instruction in our local schools has returned, many families might be wondering how education centers are keeping their classrooms protected against COVID-19. Marin County Office of Education (MCOE) will be hosting a pair of online events tomorrow, November 9, to provide Public Health Updates and to answer questions from the community. Both gatherings with be hosted on Zoom and are available to anyone who is interested in participating. Live Spanish translation will be available, and the presentations will be recorded in case you are unable to join.
