Last August, the state of California introduced a “health equity metric” in its method of evaluating progress in fighting COVID-19. Ostensibly, that meant the state would be grading counties not just on their countywide case rates, positivity rates, testing and (later) vaccine numbers, but also on all of those measures within their most disadvantaged census tracts.
This week’s COVID update features two segments: In the first, we present a feature that explores the impacts of the Fresno County COVID-19 Equity Project, a joint effort between more than a dozen organizations as well as UCSF Fresno, Fresno State, the city and the county. At the core of their work on equity is building community trust, and their methodology is now being adopted in other parts of the state.

In early April, Monterey County and a group of community organizations held a COVID-19 vaccine clinic in a school gym in the rural city of Soledad. In a promotional video produced about the event, locals shared what brought them out to get their vaccinations. “I did it to protect my kids,” said Greenfield farm worker Rosa Chavez in Spanish. “My family encouraged me to take the COVID vaccine…and I feel more secure now,” said Soledad resident Maria Ruiz.
The video highlights a Monterey County program known as Virus Integration Distribution of Aid (VIDA), which uses rural clinics and other outreach efforts to bring COVID-19-related resources to people like Chavez and Ruiz in hard-to-reach communities. The crux of the program involves community health workers (CHWs), lay people trained to deliver important public health information to the communities where they live.
Fresno, Valley lag state and national COVID vaccination rates. Who s skipping shots?
Fresno Bee 2 days ago Tim Sheehan, The Fresno Bee
May 27 About four people out of every 10 in Fresno County s total population have received at least one dose of vaccine against COVID-19, and almost one-third of the county s 1 million-plus residents are now considered fully vaccinated.
Those rates, however, lag well behind statewide and national vaccination percentages reported by the California Department of Public Health and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They indicate that even though new coronavirus cases are fewer and farther between than just a few months ago, Fresno County remains well below the threshold of getting vaccines to 65% to 75% of the population. That s what health leaders say is needed to provide a level of herd immunity in which there are too few people for the virus to effectively spread from person to person and reproduce.
