Redwood City The County of San Mateo is partnering with Stanford Health Care, the city of East Palo Alto and Cesar Chavez Ravenswood Middle School to continue operating a weekly COVID-19 vaccine clinic in the hard-hit city.
“For our county to be fully protected from this virus, we need everybody to get vaccinated. This new partnership with Stanford is yet another way we and our partners are coming together to get a shot in every arm and make sure every one of our friends, neighbors and loved ones has easy access to available doses,” said County Supervisor Warren Slocum, whose Fourth District includes East Palo Alto.

Two-thirds of California prisoners who were offered a COVID-19 vaccine accepted at least one dose, according to a new study by researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine. We found that many incarcerated people in California prisons were willing to be vaccinated for COVID-19, said Elizabeth Chin, the lead author of the study and a PhD candidate in biomedical data science. This is an encouraging sign for other states at an early stage of rolling out vaccination programs in their prisons and jails.
The researchers also found that nearly half of those who initially turned down a COVID-19 vaccine accepted it when it was offered to them again. The finding is an important indication that vaccine hesitancy is not necessarily fixed.
