Vaccine Clinics in Sonoma Valley This Week
70 percent of our eligible population in the County have now received at least one dose of the vaccine! Just a few weeks ago, vaccine appointments were hard to come by. Now, they are plentiful, and anyone 12 years or older who wants one can get an appointment at one of the many clinics, pharmacies or health centers in the County — often the same day. Many are also accepting walk-in patients. Just go to MyTurn.ca.gov to find an appointment that works for you and find a list of local clinics on the Sonoma Valley Health Partner Website.

Reopening Metrics & Case Rates
Sonoma County remains in the “orange” tier in the state’s framework. California and Sonoma County are on track to fully reopen by June 15, if hospitalizations stay low and Californians continue to get vaccinated. When California fully reopens the economy, the state will move “Beyond the Blueprint” for a Safer Economy. Common-sense health measures such as masking will remain across the state.
This week, the County’s adjusted case rate held to 2.2 new daily cases per 100,000, a test positivity rate of .7 percent, and an equity metric positivity rate of 1.2. If Sonoma County’s case rate fall below 2, the County could move to the less restrictive “yellow” tier.
Want to help Sonoma County get into an even less restrictive tier and fully reopen by June 15th? Keep up the good work by continuing to follow the mitigation measures we are all now so familiar with – wear your mask in indoor public spaces and when in crowds, keep your distance, practice good hand hygiene, limit gatherings and consider getting tested for COVID-19.
Stay Safe Sonoma! Residents urged to follow appropriate protocols over Memorial Day
While a growing number of us are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, health officials say that we all need to continue to use appropriate mitigation measures as there is a continued risk of transmission, especially with Memorial Day weekend approaching. CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky on Tuesday said that those who are unvaccinated are still at risk and should wear masks when appropriate and consider taking advantage of the long weekend to get their shots. She urged those who are fully vaccinated to have a “happy, safe” weekend.
