Distribution of COVID-19 vaccines to San Joaquin County residents that do not have access to them through healthcare providers such as Kaiser and Sutter Health will likely not start until early next month.
That is the result of weekly vaccine allotments from the state being cutback as well as orders to hold back 50 percent of all doses. The hold order is due to an effective vaccination requiring two doses 10 days a part. The fear is if the county doesn’t do that and future dose deliveries are reduced or are delayed thousands of people who have already received the first shot may be for naught given the second shot has to occur within 10 days.
