COVID-19 Update: County Vaccine Milestone, Upcoming City Update on Parks and Recreation, Trails Challenge & More

Dear San Ramon Community,

This week, Contra Costa County remains in the orange tier of California’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy.

This week, Contra Costa Health Services reported that more than 1 million COVID-19 vaccines have now been administered in Contra Costa County, ahead of both the initial July 4 target and revised goal of Memorial Day. 

The next City Update will be streamed live on YouTube this Friday, April 30 at 9 a.m., with an introduction from Councilmember Sridhar Verose, and updates on parks and recreation from Parks and Community Services Director Kathi Heimann.

The San Ramon Trails Challenge 2021 has begun, and registration is ongoing for summer camps and recreation programs.

Below are the latest updates for the San Ramon community.

 

Contra Costa County Exceeds 1 Million COVID-19 Vaccine Doses Administered

On April 24, Contra Costa Health Services reported that 1,010,267 COVID-19 vaccines had been administered in Contra Costa County, including those performed by CCHS, local hospitals, pharmacies and other community healthcare providers. This goal of administering 1 million vaccine doses has been met well ahead of the expected date of July 4 and even a month before the revised goal of Memorial Day, according to a press release from Contra Costa Health Services (CCHS). 

Nearly 630,000 of Contra Costa residents are now at least partially vaccinated – 67.8 percent of the county's 16-and-older population – and nearly 430,000 were fully vaccinated, or 46.4 percent.

Every Californian 16 and up is eligible for COVID-19 vaccination. Appointments can be scheduled through MyTurnContra Costa Health Services, and several partner providers

CCHS also offers vaccine clinics that do not require appointments – learn more at the CCHS Walk-In Vaccinations page – and a new mobile vaccination service for residents who are homebound.
