Contra Costa Co. Encourages Vaccines for Aged 50+

Increased vaccine supply from state and federal governments means that Contra Costa Health Services (CCHS) has thousands of appointments this week at its community clinics. CCHS encourages those in the county who are currently eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine to request appointments as soon as possible using the online request form or calling 1-833-VAX-COCO (1-833-829-2626).

People currently eligible for appointments in Contra Costa include:

Anyone who is 50 or older and lives or works in the county
Anyone who is 16 or older and has a high-risk health condition, disability or illness and lives or works in the county
Essential workers who live or work in Contra Costa including healthcare personnel, emergency services workers, education and childcare workers, agriculture and food workers or transportation and logistics workers
Anyone who lives or works in a congregate living space in the county

CCHS expects to open eligibility to those 16 years or older later this week. Timing for that decision will depend on how quickly available appointments fill in the coming days.
