REDDING, Calif. - The Johnson & Johnson vaccine could soon be in Shasta County.
Shasta County health leaders said the vaccine could arrive early as next week. It’s still unknown how many doses the county will be receiving.
Public Health said it’s still ironing out the distribution details. The Johnson & Johnson is a one-dose vaccine, which doesn’t need to be stored at extreme temperatures like the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines.
“We submit our allocation request to the state,” Kerri said, “And then the state sends us the vaccine that we have been approved to receive.”
Shasta County Public Health said the state decides how many doses will be sent to each county by looking at population size and who is eligible at the time.
Lorainne Johnson, who lives in Red Bluff, is going to have to wait until the end of the month before she can even get her first dose of the vaccine.
“I am sure it is causing it to take longer for us,” Johnson said. “Because we are a small town.”

REDDING, Calif. - The Redding Rodeo is making its comeback this year as organizers hope to bring people back in May, even if it’s at a limited capacity.
The Redding Rodeo Association is a non-profit group and relies heavily on sponsors and event-goers to keep it alive.
“There s a lot of people that are affected by it,” Bennett Gooch, the President of the Redding Rodeo Association, said. “We re a non-profit, so we reinvest everything back into the community. We start from scratch every year and that s what makes it a little bit more difficult.”
