COVID-19 vaccine clinics resuming in Lake County

With the severe weather last week in other parts of the country, our local efforts to vaccinate County residents stalled. Thankfully, both last week’s and this week’s shipments were received Monday. First dose vaccination appointments resumed today.

Here is this week’s schedule.

• Wednesday, February 24: 10am-4pm, at Lakeport Auto Movies (52 Soda Bay Rd, Lakeport)

• Thursday, February 25: 10am-4pm, at Lakeport Auto Movies (52 Soda Bay Rd, Lakeport)

• Friday, February 26: 10am-4pm, at Redbud Park (14655 Lakeshore Dr, Clearlake).

Monday, March 1, our normal schedule is expected resume: Monday/Tuesday in Lakeport; Thursday/Friday in Clearlake. Please do not come to either vaccine site without an appointment. We have limited vaccine supply, and all doses are spoken for by people with appointments.

To schedule an appointment:

• You must be 65 or older, or have been eligible in a previous group (we will be adding farmworkers and food service workers to those eligible in the near future)

• Visit http://health.co.lake.ca.us/Coronavirus/Vaccines.htm to find information and links to available appointments, and fill out the online form (if you are eligible, check regularly for new appointments)

• If you do not have internet access, or cannot navigate online scheduling, call 707-993-4644 for assistance. Do not call this number if appointments are filled up—they do not have extra slots

• For general questions, dial 211 or 844-987-0586 (toll free), or text “covid19” to 211-211

• If general resources do not resolve your concern, call 707-263-8174, or email mhoac@lakecountyca.gov
