On May 3, 2021, Contra Costa County announced it was now offering vaccinations to residents outside the county saying supply was outpacing demand.
County health officials on Monday put out the alert, saying that supplies were plentiful, so vaccines would now be offered to those across the Bay Area, California, and even to those from elsewhere in the U.S. We ve always said that this virus doesn t recognize borders, said County Health Officer Dr.Chris Farnitano. Now we can say that Contra Costa County no longer cares about borders when it comes to getting people vaccinated against COVID, he added.
