COVID REPORT: Three New Cases Confirmed Today; 4,600 Vaccine Doses Inbound Next Week

Press release from the Humboldt County Joint Information Center:

Humboldt County has been allocated 4,640 doses of COVID-19 vaccine for next week by the State of California. That’s a decrease of 2,270 doses from the prior week’s allocation.  

Of those doses, 1,700 are Moderna, 2,340 are Pfizer and 600 are Johnson & Johnson. Humboldt County Public Health will use 1,510 Moderna and 930 Pfizer doses at five large-scale vaccination clinics planned for next week. Remaining doses will be distributed to other approved local vaccinators. 

The state is requiring counties to transition to a new system called My Turn to register for and schedule vaccination appointments as they become available. Access the system at myturn.ca.gov. More information about local implementation will be released next week.
