SAN FRANCISCO - San Francisco s Moscone Center is set to begin administering COVID-19 vaccines again on Thursday after putting the program on pause because of lack of supply.
This is a big deal in the city’s efforts to vaccinate because the Moscone Center is a high-volume site, capable of administering 7,000 to 10,000 doses a day.
The center originally opened as a vaccine clinic on Feb. 5.
It was forced to temporarily shut down twice because of vaccine shortages.
Some Bay Area providers also saw shipping delays linked to the storms in the midwest.
SAN FRANCISCO – Nearly a year into a life-altering pandemic, many Americans are fed up with wearing masks, desperate for a return to normalcy and numb to the relentless stream of grim numbers, such as the 500,000 COVID-19 deaths the USA surpassed Monday.
Health care workers don’t want to hear any of that.
They have been working endless hours amid constant death and suffering, forsaking time off and exposing themselves to the disease, leaving them exhausted and with no real indication of when the pandemic will relent.
“There’s definitely some tangible fatigue on the health care workers’ side, being sick of COVID and sick of people disregarding public health guidance, getting sick and expecting us to defer another vacation or put off something else,” said Eric Cioe-Peña, an emergency room physician running a COVID-19 field hospital in Staten Island, New York.
