“The local public health department does not have oversight of this process,” county disaster preparedness manager Jan Koegler told Noozhawk via email. “As a supplement to this process, county public health has offered to vaccinate ASL (assisted-living facilities) workers and residents who can come to the vaccination PODs (points of distribution).”
At least 190 facilities in Santa Barbara County are enrolled in the federal pharmacy partnership program, Koegler said Friday.
“We are working with the facilities to obtain data on when they are scheduled to receive their first doses through the partnership,” Koegler said. “From the data we have collected so far, we calculate that 3,453 residents and staff have received at least a first dose. This number does not take into account how many have been vaccinated through a PHD (public health department), vaccine clinic or by another health care provider.”

We know many people are excited to be vaccinated and want to know how and when that s going to happen, but we re asking everyone to remain patient, Whatcom County Health Department Health Information and Assessment Supervisor Amy Hockenberry said during an online briefing Jan. 6. This is one of the most complicated vaccinations in history.
