When a handful of officials at the forefront of the county s COVID-19 response sat down to a virtual press conference May 5, they made clear Humboldt County was at an inflection point. In sharp contrast to the rest of the state, local case numbers were ballooning, with the county having confirmed 267 new cases and a rash of hospitalizations over the previous 14 days as the state continued preparations to lift most pandemic restrictions and reopen its economy by mid June.

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) People hoping to get an initial dose of the COVID-19 vaccine will have to wait as Fresno County health officials are seeing an overwhelming demand, but little supply. We ve had to pause first dose clinics for now because of the lack of COVID vaccines coming into Fresno County, says Fresno County Public Health Division Manager Joe Prado.
Prado says based on the supply they have at this point, they ll be focusing on second dose appointments. In the next two weeks, we re doing second dose clinics at the fairgrounds, and the Sierra Pacific Ortho Site as well, he said. There s not a lot of additional first dose clinics we can do at this time.
