The county received 11,180 doses last week, down from 11,650 the week before. It has seen its vaccine supply decrease by about a third over a number of weeks, according to Louise Rogers, chief of San Mateo County Health.
More than 63 percent of eligible residents in the county were vaccinated as of Tuesday. David Canepa, president of the Board of Supervisors, argued that the state was penalizing the county for its success.
