The state-contracted Optum Serve program took over COVID-19 vaccination efforts at the Del Norte County Fairgrounds on Tuesday, offering extended hours to the public.
The county’s Public Health Branch isn’t getting out of the vaccination business entirely, Dr. Warren Rehwaldt told supervisors. The county will hold a clinic at the Department of Health and Human Services building on Wednesday. There are also clinics planned for next month, Rehwaldt said.
Vaccine hesitancy continues to be a concern, Rehwaldt said, though interest in Pfizer has peaked since the inoculation became available to pre-teens and teens.
