Starting Friday, the Moscone Center in San Francisco will open its doors as a mass vaccination center, where the goal will be to administer 7,000 to 10,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine daily, provided the state is able to send the necessary supplies.
It should be noted that an appointment is required for the vaccine, and at this time it is only available to people 65 and older, as well as health care workers and those who work in nursing homes.
While a limited supply of vaccine is planned to begin this Friday, it is expected to increase as the state sends more supplies to the city.
The opening of the mass vaccination center is a partnership between the City of San Francisco and Kaiser Permanente Medical Center.
According to the latest report from the city and county of San Francisco, as of Feb. 3, at least 75,275 residents had received one dose of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, while 20,475 people have already received the required two doses of the immunization.
Meanwhile, according to providers, as of yesterday, February 4, they reported having administered a total of 3 million 984,752 doses of vaccines throughout the state.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that, as of last night, 6 million 438,225 doses have been delivered to entities within the state of California.
