Update: 3:48 p.m. Up to 200 people who had COVID-19 vaccine appointments Thursday may not receive their doses due to the delay caused by the protest, city spokesperson Matthai Chakko said.
Additional Albany and Berkeley firefighters and city staff are responding to the site to vaccinate as many people as possible, but they may not be able to vaccinate everyone who was scheduled today. He said the site will likely not extend its hours for the day.
