Plan to vaccinate 2,000 seniors a day on pause in Stanislaus County - KCRA Sacramento

Vaccination clinics that were set to administer doses to 2,000 seniors a day in Stanislaus County are now being put on hold following a batch of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine where allergic reactions are being reported.

Kamlesh Kaur, a spokesperson for the Stanislaus County Public Health Department, said the county received 5,100 doses of that lot, distributed 2,000 to providers and 849 were administered.

Vaccinations will continue for everyone in Phase 1a, but the clinic Kaur said will remain closed, at least until the health department gets a better idea of what the vaccine supply will look like.

Kaur also said that the county had prepared to open sites at Stanislaus State, Patterson, and Oakdale, but that’s on hold.
