Weekly Vaccine Update

The Oakland Coliseum COVID-19 vaccine mega-distribution site will be closing on Saturday, May 23, 2021 as Alameda County shifts to more focused and localized options that meets our community where they are, especially the communities hardest hit by the pandemic.  

Updates from the Alameda County
Public Health Department

Alameda County remains in the Orange Tier. While the local COVID-19 case rate remains low, we must continue to wear a mask in public, practice social distancing, and wash our hands, especially if we do not know if others around us are fully vaccinated. 

Don't know if they're vaxxed?
Stay safe and wear a mask! 

Food Prescription Bill Update

I was excited to meet with Assembly Majority Leader Eloise Gomez Reyes to discuss AB 368 (Food Prescriptions), which will create a Food Prescription pilot based on ALL IN Food as Medicine’s model in three counties across the state. The legislation is awaiting action in the Assembly Appropriations Committee.
