Unusual clusters of coronavirus cases among already-vaccinated residents and patients at the Yountville Veterans Home and Napa State Hospital were the result of a West Coast variant of COVID-19, state and county officials confirmed in a joint statement this week.
At least 49 cases were discovered among residents, patients and staff of the two facilities through the end of March, Napa County Public Health Officer Karen Relucio told the Register in an interview earlier this month. Though some of the staff members at each facility have chosen to remain unvaccinated, all of the infected residents and patients in question had previously been vaccinated, she said.
