The County is currently providing 42,000 vaccines per week and not wasting <br />any doses. The message to get out to people is that while there is not enough vaccine <br />for everyone right now, there will be, and people should still continue to adhere to the <br />prevention methods. The county is making sure that there is equitable access to <br />vaccine and are pushing information out. <br />Long Term Care sites are showing signs of improvement after the federal pharmacy <br />program completed providing vaccines to resident and staff and now the program will <br />be opening up to the public.

The Fire POD at <br />Fremont High in Oakland will be used as a model for future community PODs, since it <br />focuses on those most impacted, seniors and essential workers.

The case rate is less than 13 per 10,000; this is what the state <br />looks at for the tiers. The county is doing 9-10000 tests per day, with a 3.6% positivity <br />rate. The County will be in purple tier for several more weeks until the unadjusted case <br />rate is under 7 per 100,000, though the thresholds for other metrics have been met. <br />K-6 can open with approved safety plans. There is a state website which lists which <br />schools are open. According to Dr. Moss, the virus is still widespread, and variants <br />have been detected within the county and were related to travel and not community <br />spread. <br />Alameda County Fire Department (ACFD) reported that the Fire IMT is assisting at the <br />Fairgrounds and partnering with Tiburcio Vasquez in the unincorporated area of San <br />Leandro, which has been a good partnership. These PODs will be changing from fire <br />based to community based, sometime in March. The mobile PODs are still being <br />developed. The staffing level is holding steady. <br />San Leandro City <br />• San Leandro City Manager <br />• San Leandro Police <br />2.C. <br />Page 3City of San Leandro <br />40
