COVID-19 Vaccine in Marin: Help is On the Way!
Pretty much everyone I know is excited about the COVID-19 vaccines now being deployed throughout the country. Here in Marin County, the rollout is underway, albeit with a slow start, but that is expected to change in the coming months. The Centers for Disease Control has recommended states follow a phased approach and regularly updates their guidance here.
The state of California operates a website (https://covid19.ca.gov/) with the latest information on COVID-19 vaccines in California, including a very useful page that provides information by county and region: https://covid19.ca.gov/safer-economy/.

The Marin County public health agency (Marin Health and Human Services) is responsible for tracking current infections as well as in formulating plans for the deployment of the vaccine. A great place to start is their website (https://coronavirus.marinhhs.org/).

An Important Note
I am a real estate agent in Marin, not a doctor, and do not intend any of the above as medical advice. Rather, these are the public resources I have found to keep myself informed on the availability of COVID-19 vaccine in Marin County. If you have a health emergency, dial 911, and always seek the advice of your physician if you are in doubt about any health concern.
Also- the vaccine situation is changing hourly as public health agencies learn more. That is why it is so important to subscribe to public health updates to stay informed.
Wishing you health and happiness!
