  • COVID-19 updates from Santa Clara County

    On February 3, 2021 County Supervisor Mike Wasserman issued his monthly newsletter. Within it he included updated information pertaining to vaccinations and testing. In an excerpt from his newsletter:

    Since January 28th, the County of Santa Clara Health System has been offering COVID-19 vaccinations to residents 65 years old and older, following the State’s updated guidance. We continue to urge the State to allocate more vaccines to the County so that we can increase the number of vaccinations each day.

    Local residents within the eligible categories (who are not a regular patient of Kaiser, Palo Alto Medical Foundation or Stanford Healthcare) can schedule an appointment through one of Santa Clara Valley Medical Center’s vaccination clinic sites. For Kaiser, Palo Alto Medical Foundation or Stanford Healthcare patients, please contact your healthcare provider for vaccination eligibility and scheduling.

    President Joe Biden recently announced that the Federal government plans to purchase 200 million more COVID-19 vaccine doses from Pfizer and Moderna. This would result in fully vaccinating the American population by the end of summer or early fall of 2021.

    For our part, the County will continue to administer as many vaccines as we are given as quickly as possible and will continue to follow the rules set by the Federal and State governments for distribution.”

    Vaccination Appointments can be schedule through the SCC website with each of the various medical facilities serving the county.

     

    Testing is still a critical tool in the fight against COVID-19. While some people have gone in for regular testing for months, others are seeking it out for the first time. Widespread testing provides a more accurate picture of how many cases exist in our community and helps the County Public Health Department understand how and where the virus is spreading.

    Visit the County’s COVID-19 testing website to:”

      • Search for a Test Site
      • Search for sites by City
      • Search for sites Near You
      • Search for sites by Date
      • Search for sites by Provider

    Make sure you are registered, so your vote counts!

    Every vote counts!

    Not just for the National Election, but also for local issues impacting city, county, and State elections. Navigate to the Santa Clara County website and verify the validity of your voter registration information.  If for some reason, your registration was dropped, register online.

    After you vote, particularly if by mail, track your ballot on the county website to ensure it was indeed counted, and not dropped due to a technicality, or mismatched signatures, etc. If voting by mail, return the ballot ASAP via US mail, or drop it off at a designated drop-off  location.

  • Special Message from County Supervisor Mike Wasserman

    In an excerpt from Mike Wasserman’s newsletter issued 9/15/2020, I wanted to emphasize the importance for everyone to participate in the 2020 Census. To quote Supervisor Mike Wasserman:

    1 in 5 Have Not Completed the Census

    As of this week, nearly 1 in 5 households have NOT participated in the 2020 Census. This means that 140,000 of the 701,000 households in the County of Santa Clara have not responded so far. Are you the 1 in 5 in your neighborhood? If so, please complete your 10-minute questionnaire today. It is as easy as following the link below or calling 844-330-2020. The data collected from the Census is used to allocate over $800 billion in annual funding for vital services, including money for:

      • Schools
      • Healthcare
      • Housing
      • Roads

    Census Deadline: September 30th, 2020.

    Complete the Census
