The Moscone Center vaccination site, opened earlier this month, will take a week-long break from Monday. The San Francisco City College website will also take a break, with the plan to reopen on Friday only for second doses.
“SF has an average of more than 7,000 vaccines administered per day, but the state and federal government supply is not keeping up,” Mayor London Breed tweeted Sunday in announcing the moves.
Breed added that no existing commitments would be canceled.
According to data provided by the city, San Francisco provided the first vaccinations for 118,120 of its more than 764,000 residents over the age of 16. Of these, more than 33,600 received reports.
San Francisco reports that 48% of its population over 65 years of age 131,000 received at least one dose of the vaccine.
The city is planning to open a third vaccination site at SF Market in Bayview.
