Press release from the Humboldt County Joint Information Center:
Twenty-nine additional cases of COVID-19 were reported today. One case was reclassified from PCR + to Antigen +, and a previously registered case was removed due to an out-of-area lab report error. The total number of county residents who tested positive for the virus is now 2,877.
The municipality will receive a total of 3,975 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine next week, 3,000 Moderna and 975 Pfizer, as part of its weekly allocation from the state. Humboldt County Public Health is reserving 870 doses for use at its large-scale vaccination clinics next week, while the rest will be distributed to approved local vaccinators.
Regardless of which provider is administering the dose, vaccines are offered by appointment only at this time and are scheduled based on the state’s prioritization schedule.
All county residents are encouraged to fill out the online interest form to be notified when the vaccine is available for their level, especially those 75 and older. Humboldt County Public Health is using this information to connect individuals to vaccination clinics. It takes about two minutes to complete and can be found at humboldtgov.org/InterestForm.
