San Mateo County is changing the way it administers its COVID-19 vaccine sites, starting to think about smaller and more local ones.
People living in and around Daly City lined up at the Chinese Hospital outpatient center on Thursday, one of the five minor vaccination sites created this week in San Mateo County.
These mass vaccination sites will no longer be the focus of county health leaders, instead, they hope that the smaller sites will even accommodate home visits.
“Getting from Daly City to San Mateo by bus takes maybe 45-50 minutes,” said supervisor David Canepa. “Here, just get in.”
So far, the county says the smaller sites are getting a good response from the people who use them and plan to open several more in the next week.
“A lot of people are trying to get the vaccine now and when I tried to get an appointment online, I couldn’t get it,” said Lara Pecchi, from San Bruno.
