Supervisors Press for County-wide Vaccine Plans
“I know it’s a big lift to collect and coordinate these plans, but the public shouldn’t be sitting around wondering when and where they can be vaccinated as they were with testing,” said Simitian. “And time is of the essence. We can’t afford to lose a month; we can’t afford to lose a week; we can’t afford to lose a single day.”
The proposal by Santa Clara County Supervisors Joe Simitian and Cindy Chavez to require large healthcare systems operating within Santa Clara County to produce written plans and timelines for COVID-19 vaccine distribution passed 5-0 at a Board of Supervisor’s meeting.
