San Francisco health department expects to run out of COVID-19 vaccine this week - SF Gate

San Francisco Mayor London Breed said in a Tuesday press briefing the city's health department will run out of its vaccine allotment this week and there's a desperate need for more doses.

The department is currently charged with vaccinating workers at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, EMTs and other frontline workers, as well as those 65 and over within the San Francisco Health Network, which serves the most vulnerable people in the city, including patients without insurance.

Health care providers aren't currently required to release information on vaccine administration, but Breed said based on the data that has been provided, 28,501 San Franciscans have been vaccinated (receiving at least one dose) by both the Department of Public Health and health care providers.

Of those, up to 90,000 are health care workers, 11,000 home care workers, 110,000 people age 65 and over within the San Francisco Health Network, as well as EMTs and community health care workers.

"This dashboard will tell you how many people have been vaccinated in San Francisco, first and second dose, and how many doses are given to people daily," she said.

The data is currently incomplete, and to provide a more clear picture of the situation, the Department of Public Health issued an order Tuesday requiring providers to release basic distribution data, Breed said.
