Three COVID updates

The past week was a major step forward in our fight against COVID-19. First, on

March 16, a new vaccination site opened in North County, specifically in the

92058 zip code in Oceanside. This walk-in clinic, located at 1701 Mission Ave., will play a vital role in distributing vaccines to one of the communities hardest hit by COVID-19. The clinic will provide over 700 daily vaccines and will replace the

current Oceanside vaccine center at the North Coastal Live Well Center.

As you may know by now, San Diego County has moved from the purple tier to

the red tier. This has allowed indoor dining (25% capacity), indoor gyms (10%

capacity), fans at Petco Park (20% capacity) and other businesses to open. This is

great news for the thousands who have been out of work, and progress towards

normalcy. One of the main reasons for this is San Diego County has administered

over 1.5 million vaccines and we are moving forward!

Speaking of vaccines, on March 15, the County announced that those with

certain health conditions, disabilities, illness, living spaces, or work environments

that put them at higher risk for serious COVID-19 illness are now eligible to

receive the vaccine. There’s a long list of what those disabilities or illnesses are, so

go to the County of San Diego’s COVID-19 website and you’ll see the entire list

under COVID-19 vaccine phases, www.vaccinationsuperstation.com.

Progress is being made and I’m hoping soon we can meet for a community event!
