San Mateo County is changing the way it administers its COVID-19 vaccination sites, beginning to believe it is smaller and more local.
People living in and around Daly lined up at the Chinese hospital’s outpatient center on Thursday, one of five smaller vaccination sites set up this week in San Mateo County.
These mass vaccination sites will no longer be a focus for county health leaders, hoping instead that smaller sites will even host walks.
“Getting from Daly City to San Mateo by bus is maybe 45-50 minutes,” said supervisor David Canepa. “Here, just get in.”
So far, the county says smaller sites are getting a good response from people who use them and plan to open a few more next week.
“A lot of people are trying to get the vaccine right now, and when I tried to get an online appointment, I failed, so when I heard that there was an opportunity to walk and I had a day off, rain or shine, a to take it “, said Lara Pecchi from San Bruno.
