It s incredibly frustrating, patients are afraid, said Dr. Parish.
Parish who is in private practice in Walnut Creek, partnered with the city of Lafayette and local senior organizations to get the vaccine to those who may be homebound or tech challenged.
These days, vaccine doses are like gold, finding 500 of them wasn t easy. I m pretty sure somewhere in there I promised someone my firstborn child, that s not realistic, Parish said.
Parish says she lobbied Contra Costa County for the 500 doses of the vaccine, and finally got them.
Aegis Living in Fremont gave shots to 240 assisted living residents and staff Saturday, a partnership with CVS.
