A two-day vaccination clinic at San Francisco International Airport will provide COVID-19 vaccines for all San Mateo County residents 65 years of age and older, regardless of insurance.
COVID-19: SFO Clinic will vaccinate 65 year olds; held Wednesdays and Fridays in the SFO long term parking lot, 806 S. Airport Blvd.
Residents 65 and older can sign up for an appointment on the site https://crbn.app.link/e/covid-vax-sf-airport-first-dosewhere appointments are available from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Wednesday and from 9 a.m. to noon on Friday.
Individuals must register in advance and bring a photo ID showing date of birth. Walk-in registration is not available and individuals who do not meet eligibility criteria will be turned away or have their appointments cancelled, according to the county.
SFO clinic to vaccinate 65-year-olds for COVID-19, which began Feb. 12, was previously limited to residents covered by the San Mateo Health Plan or those who had no other access to the vaccine; however, county officials decided Sunday to expand the clinic's reach to cover the remaining appointments.
Preston Merchant, spokesman for San Mateo County Health, said the county anticipates 12,000 residents will be vaccinated at the SFO clinic by the end of Friday.
As of Monday, 109,793 San Mateo County residents have received at least the first dose of the vaccine, representing 17.1 percent of people 16 and older in the county.
San Mateo County is focusing on vaccinating health care workers and people 65 and older right now. Vaccination for the next eligible groups -- teachers, child care workers, farm workers and first responders -- will begin Feb. 22, the county announced last week.
