Santa Clara County has a new goal to vaccinate 85 percent of its eligible population by June 15, so it has teamed up with the San Jose Earthquakes to encourage the remaining quarter to get inoculated.
We re here today to support the county, as we continue to push for more people to get vaccinated and get more access to vaccinations, Earthquakes Executive Vice President Jed Mettee said at a Monday news conference at PayPal Park. We re excited to do so, so we can bring the community back together and also bring a full stadium capacity, which we re planning to do, hopefully in the summer.
Defender Oswaldo Alanis, a famous Mexican soccer player who joined the Quakes in 2020, echoed the sentiment.
Alanis shared that in many different countries, vaccines are not widely available like they are in Santa Clara County, so residents should take advantage of this opportunity.

Levi s Stadium in Santa Clara County is considered to be the largest vaccination site in California. Gov. Gavin Newsom cut the ribbon for Levi s Stadium s latest mission back on Feb. 9, bringing in hundreds of nurses from out of state to create a site capable of vaccinating up to 15,000 people per day.
But now a person working inside the stadium said it has not been a safe zone for some of those helping in the effort. Stalking and harassment, the witness said.
The whistleblower wants to remain anonymous in fear of retaliation. The person claims they witnessed a Levi s security officer harassing and stalking a female employee at the mass vaccination site.
