Contra Costa County Health Officer Dr. Chris Farnitano said now that a majority of the county’s elderly population is vaccinated, it’s the younger unvaccinated people that are getting the deadly virus. "Not getting the vaccine means you’re still at risk for COVID, and COVID is getting more and more deadly," he said. He told NBC Bay Area the county saw 11 virus-related deaths last week. Three of those people were in their 60s, two in their 50s and other two in their 40s. Despite Contra Costa County having plenty of vaccine shots available and walk-in clinics that don't require an appointment, the pace has slowed down.
