COVID-19 vaccines will be available for Del Norters ages 16 and above, Public Health Officer Dr. Warren Rehwaldt announced Thursday.
From a Thursday news release:
We have a very brief update today, but we wanted to get the word out as soon as possible.
We have seen a bit of a drop off in demand at our own clinics, and we have heard some similar reports from other vaccination sites in the county. This has taken place, despite the opening of new tiers, and of last week, anyone 50 and above in our county. With that trend in mind we are announcing today that Del Norte County is accelerating the eligibility process.
