SHASTA COUNTY, Calif. - The Redding Rancheria is helping in a countywide Covid-19 vaccine rollout this weekend, and has plans to help more in the near future.
Glen Hayward, the executive director of the Redding Rancheria Tribal Health Center said they have been including people between the ages of 20-30 in their Covid-19 vaccination roll-out.
Hayward said, “We saw the majority of our patients that were Covid-positive were between 20 and 40… and that population is going around visiting our elders. They’re visiting their families. So the best thing to do was to vaccinate as many people as possible.”

REDDING, Calif. - Anyone over the age of 18-years-old and who lives in Shasta County will be getting the vaccine at the Redding Rancheria’s Tribal Health Center, but spots are already filled for Sunday’s clinic.
“When we looked at it as a tribal organization, we saw the majority of our patients that were Covid positive were between 20-years-old and 40-years-old,” said Glen Hayward, the Executive Director of Health Services. “That population is going around visiting our elders, they re visiting their families. So that best thing to do was to vaccinate as many people as possible.”
Public health officials received the first shipment of the recently-approved Johnson & Johnson vaccine this week.
They are setting it aside while they plan how best to deliver it to those who would benefit most from the one-dose vaccine, including people living in rural areas.
The county received its first of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine shipment a 1,400-dose allocation on Wednesday, Shasta County Public Health Officer Dr. Karen Ramstrom said at a media briefing. We are working with our vaccine provider partners to determine the best use of that vaccine until we have really good supplies of that single-dose option, Ramstrom said. That s in the works right now.
