Del Norte Countyâs COVID-19 vaccination rates are lower than most of the rest of the state, and lower than some health officials would hope.
Dr. Warren Rehwaldt, Del Norte Countyâs public health officer, told the board of supervisors Tuesday the county has vaccinated about one third of the countyâs adults (behind the stateâs 45%).
âWeâre hopeful that we can get more,â Rehwaldt said. âWe think that the biggest news that people should think about in making this decision is the fact that we have some variants in our county. Theyâve been identified â not a lot yet, but weâve had the California variant for some time that weâve known about, and we now have the (U.K. variant), and we think that weâre going to get more.â
