The daily case rate is at 15 per 100,000, with an average <br />of about 200 cases reported daily and most of the new Alameda County cases are <br />among the unvaccinated. The case rates are highest for ages 18 to 40 and among <br />those age 5-11 though case rates are now improving in all age groups. Test positivity is <br />3% overall. Hospitalizations have improved, though across the state ICUs are strained. <br />Over 1 million residents, or 76%, over 12 are fully vaccinated. An “additional dose” <br />refers to a third dose of Moderna or Pfizer and is currently authorized only for fully <br />vaccinated people who are moderately to severely immunocompromised. A “booster” <br />refers to a third dose of Moderna or Pfizer, or a second dose of J&J. CDC will be <br />putting out formal guidance by the end of the month and may be limited to <br />recommending boosters only for certain groups. <br />ACPHD Schools Team has been working with education partners with implementing <br />state guidance for safety protocols in order to return to in person learning, as well as <br />working with the County Office of Education to plan for vaccine clinics. <br />The County was able to fill four mutual aid requests for law enforcement for the Dixie <br />and Monument fires, and Plumas and Tulare counties.
