East Palo Alto Opens Vaccination Clinic for Residents 18 and Over

This new clinic is part of a collaborative effort to boost low vaccination rates in East Palo Alto. It s a community that’s seen high COVID-19 rates and is lagging behind the rest of the county in vaccinations. “We are the first city in San Mateo County to have received permission from the equity commission to vaccinate adults 18 and over.” Councilmember Antonio Lopez said. The rare move comes nearly two weeks before eligibility opens to everyone in the state. Lopez said it was important to expand eligibility in East Palo Alto. “Part of the disadvantage that we face early on in the vaccination rollout was being able to vaccine our younger populations,” he said. “Yes, they are not as vulnerable due to age but due to the line of occupation.”
