Partnering with local community-based organizations, the Sacramento County Department of Public Health has developed a COVID vaccination plan which focuses on equity, in a region with diverse demographics.
As of March 10, the county had administered 322,691 doses of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, and will soon administer the single shot Johnson and Johnson vaccine.
