Del Norte graduated to the less restrictive Red Tier on the state’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy on Tuesday, which is good news for businesses, especially restaurants.
But after administering 300 doses during a drive-through COVID-19 vaccination clinic at the Del Norte County Regional Airport on Saturday, Public Health Officer Dr. Warren Rehwaldt said the Public Health Branch is “tapped out.”
“We can’t set up any first-dose clinics until we have a larger vaccine supply to work with,” he told supervisors. “What we have on hand is pretty much committed to supplying second doses, and also second doses for the clinics because right now we’re redistributing to all the primary care offices in the county.”
