Del Norte County has expanded its COVID-19 eligibility as case rates tick up across the county.
On the vaccine front, county officials on April 1 expanded the group eligible to receive COVID-19 vaccines to include anyone over 16, in the face of a drop off in demand at the countyâs vaccination sites.
The move â ahead of the April 15 date for that group to become eligible in all California counties â means vaccine administration sites can offer Johnson & Johnson and Moderna doses to anyone 18 and older and the Pfizer vaccine to anyone 16 or older, regardless their health conditions or other factors.
âAs a reminder, all these vaccines work very well, and the basic rule is to get the vaccine that is easiest for you to get access, too,â wrote Public Health Officer Dr. Warren Rehwaldt in a release. âAt this point, there should be no reason for anyone to not get a vaccine of some sort, if so desired.â
