Distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine has finally begun to pick up its pace, which means we are getting vaccines into arms and beginning our journey back to normality! However, with frequent changes to vaccine distribution plans, you may be frustrated and confused about when you are eligible and how to actually access the vaccine once you are eligible.
So to make things easier, we have compiled a list of your current options for receiving a vaccine:
NEW: GET VACCINATED FROM HOME
Yolo County is offering a call-to-order vaccine program to deliver and administer COVID-19 vaccine open to all of Yolo County through September 30, 2021 (with the possibility of extension).
