En MCC, nos sentimos honrados de servir a nuestra comunidad de cualquier manera que podamos. Estamos especialmente contentos de proporcionar vacunas y pruebas de vigilancia COVID-19 continuas y sin costo a los residentes de la costa. Es inspirador compartir un #shotofhope con nuestra comunidad.

Actualmente, estamos vacunando a las personas de 75 años en adelante, a las personas con alto riesgo de complicaciones graves o mortalidad, y a los trabajadores del servicio de alimentos y agrícolas, de acuerdo con el sistema de niveles. Hay varios cientos de personas que cumplen con estos parámetros, por lo que les pedimos paciencia y comprensión al vacunar primero a los miembros más vulnerables de nuestra comunidad.

Sabemos que muchos de ustedes se están preguntando cuándo será su turno. La semana pasada, vacunamos a más de 250 personas mayores de 75 años en adelante, con algunos trabajadores de servicios de alimentos entretejidos para cubrir nuestra lista de espera. Estábamos programando personas de entre 90 y 80 años la semana pasada mientras trabajábamos en la lista existente de 2,500 personas de 75 en adelante. Esta semana, solo estamos haciendo segundas dosis, no primeras dosis.

En cuanto a la próxima semana, nadie lo sabe. Nunca sabemos cuántas vacunas recibiremos ni en qué día. A menudo, solo tenemos un aviso de 24 horas para llamar a cientos de personas para programar citas. El suministro de vacunas de MCC proviene de la Salud Pública del Condado de Mendocino, y su suministro proviene del Estado. Todo el estado de California está experimentando una escasez de vacunas y eso afecta a nuestro condado y nuestra clínica.

En el lado positivo, MCC ha vacunado a más de 1,000 residentes costeros hasta ahora, y nuestros pacientes representan aproximadamente la mitad de ellos. En total, hasta ahora se han vacunado 12.000 de los 90.000 residentes del condado de Mendocino. Esperamos continuar vacunando a nuestra comunidad según lo permitan los suministros de las vacunas y los niveles designados.

Aquí en MCC, nos sentimos honrados de ser parte del programa para vacunar a nuestra comunidad contra COVID-19. Hasta ahora, hemos realizado dos clínicas de vacunas muy exitosas y estamos muy contentos de darle a nuestra comunidad un disparo de esperanza. Entendemos que muchas personas en nuestra comunidad están ansiosas por recibir la vacuna COVID-19. Pero debemos seguir las pautas de Salud Pública del Condado de Mendocino al administrar las vacunas.

Ayer, 20 de enero, comenzamos a vacunar a nuestros pacientes mayores de 75 años que también han sido diagnosticados con diabetes, EPOC u obesidad. Estas personas son las más vulnerables a sufrir complicaciones graves por el virus.

Una vez que estos pacientes hayan sido vacunados, comenzaremos a vacunar a nuestros pacientes por edad, a partir de los 100 años.

Si no es un paciente de MCC, comuníquese con su proveedor de atención médica para informarle que está interesado en recibir la vacuna. Si su proveedor de atención médica no participa en el programa de vacunas, regístrese en www.vaccinatemendo.com.

Este sitio recopila información que podemos usar para alertar a las personas sobre una próxima clínica o programar las citas para la vacuna. Recuerde: los suministros de vacunas son todavía muy limitados, por lo que debemos observar atentamente cómo avanzamos en las listas.

Puede encontrar más información sobre el programa de vacunas en el sitio web de Salud Pública del Condado de Mendocino:

https://www.mendocinocounty.org/…/covid-19-vaccinations

Si prefiere hablar con alguien por teléfono, el Centro de Llamadas del Condado cuenta con personal de 8:30 am a 5:00 pm de lunes a viernes al (707) 472-2759.

Para preguntas e información específica sobre vacunas, llame al (707) 472-2663 o envíe un correo electrónico a DOC-vaccines@mendocinocounty.org.

¡Gracias por su paciencia y comprensión!

Here at MCC, we are honored to be part of the program to vaccinate our community against COVID-19. So far, we have held two very successful vaccine clinics, and we are so happy to give our community a #shotofhope. We understand that many people in our community are anxious to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. But we must follow the Mendocino County Public Health guidelines in giving the vaccines. See the attached chart for more information on these guidelines.
Yesterday, January 20, we started to vaccinate our patients who are 75 and up who have also been diagnosed with diabetes, or COPD, or obesity. These people are the most vulnerable to having severe complications from the virus.
Once these patients have been vaccinated, we will start vaccinating our patients by age, from 100 on down.
If you are not an MCC patient, contact your healthcare provider to let him or her know you are interested in receiving the vaccine. If your healthcare provider is not participating in the vaccine program, please register on www.vaccinatemendo.com.
This site gathers information that we can use to alert people to an upcoming clinic or schedule the appointments for the vaccine. Remember: vaccine supplies are still very limited, so we must watch carefully how we are going through the lists.
More information about the vaccine program can be found on the Mendocino County Public Health website:
If you would rather speak with someone by phone, the County’s Call Center is staffed from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm Monday through Friday at (707) 472-2759.
For vaccine-specific questions and information, phone (707) 472-2663 or email DOC-vaccines@mendocinocounty.org.
Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Throughout the pandemic, our priority here at MCC has been keeping our patients, community, and staff safe. With that in mind, we’re hitting the pause button on this year’s Crab & Wine celebration.

As the number of COVID cases rises throughout the county and on the coast, we decided it would be safer to wait until spring to hold our annual fundraiser.

Although we were planning a virtual event, a team of 10 needs to be in one location in order to produce it, including cameramen, chefs, and hosts. Given the current situation, this did not seem safe or advisable, even with all the participants masked and physically distant.

Online sales will remain open to reserve the Crab package, purchase Crab gear or donate to MCC here:

https://mccinc.ejoinme.org/supportmcc

We are extremely grateful for the donations we have already received and continue to receive toward keeping COVID testing available on the coast. Ours is a generous and caring community – it’s one of the best things about living here!

Watch this space for a new date for Crab & Wine Days!

It has been reported that one specific lot of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine has experienced higher than expected allergic reactions. We would like to reassure our community that MCC has never had any vaccines from this lot in our inventory.

Together we’re stronger!
On Friday, January 15, MCC and Adventist Health partnered up for our very first public COVID-19 vaccine clinic, where we vaccinated local teachers. It was inspiring to see our school staff get a #shotofhope and take a giant step toward getting our kids back in the classroom.
Since it was the first time we did an event like this, we weren’t quite sure what to expect, but it went off without a hitch. Fort Bragg High School generously gave us the use of their gym, where there was plenty of room for parking, registration, vaccinations, and physical distancing for post-vaccine monitoring. It could not have gone better!
MCC’s Executive Director, Lucresha Renteria said, “MCC’s team truly delivered today. We got 300 school employees along the North Coast vaccinated.”
Huge thanks to our friends at Adventist Health for providing nursing staff and having an EMT on site, and to Fort Bragg Unified School District for handling the scheduling. It was an amazing team effort! Thank you to all who helped to make it happen.

¡Nos alegra ver que nuestra comunidad está dando la bienvenida a la llegada de la vacuna COVID-19 con los brazos abiertos y las mangas arremangadas! Entendemos que muchos de ustedes están ansiosos por recibir la vacuna, pero se está implementando de acuerdo con un sistema de niveles:
El condado está distribuyendo vacunas de acuerdo con las regulaciones y pautas vigentes. MCC no tiene una lista de espera para aquellos interesados en recibir la vacuna, ni tenemos un suministro de vacunas a la mano.
Hoy estamos vacunando a nuestros maestros locales. Estas son las 300 vacunas mencionadas en las ediciones de esta semana de The Mendocino Beacon y Fort Bragg Advocate-News, y todas se utilizarán en este evento. Este es un gran paso para que nuestros niños puedan regresar al aprendizaje en persona más adelante este año.
Nos pondremos en contacto con nuestros pacientes de 75 años en adelante cuando tengamos un suministro de vacuna para comenzar a dársela a estos pacientes. Si no es un paciente de MCC, comuníquese con su proveedor de atención médica y pregúntele si participa en el programa de vacunas. Si es así, su proveedor de atención médica le notificará cuando esté listo para vacunarlo. De lo contrario, comuníquese con Salud Pública del Condado de Mendocino al 707-472-2663 para informarles que está interesado en recibir la vacuna cuando esté disponible.
Continuamos con nuestras pruebas de vigilancia gratuitas los miércoles de 9 am a 1 pm, y los jueves de 1 pm a 5 pm. Llámanos al 707 964 1251 para hacer una cita.
Pedimos su paciencia y comprensión mientras continúa el despliegue de la vacuna.

We are glad to see that our community is welcoming the arrival of the COVID-19 vaccine with open arms and sleeves rolled up! We understand that many of you are anxious to receive the vaccine, but it is being rolled out according to a tier system:
The County is distributing vaccines according to the regulations and guidelines currently in place. MCC does not have a waiting list for those interested in receiving the vaccine, nor do we have a supply of vaccine on hand.
We are vaccinating our local teachers today. These are the 300 vaccines referred to in this week’s editions of The Mendocino Beacon and the Fort Bragg Advocate-News, and they will all be used at this event. This is a big step toward our children being able to return to in person learning later this year.
We will be contacting our patients aged 75 and up when we have a supply of vaccine to start giving it to these patients. If you are not an MCC patient, contact your healthcare provider and ask if they are participating in the vaccine program. If they are, your healthcare provider will notify you when they are ready to vaccinate you. If not, contact Mendocino County Public Health at 707-472-2663 to let them know you are interested in receiving the vaccine when it is available.
We are continuing our free, drive-through surveillance testing on Wednesdays from 9 am to 1 pm, and Thursdays from 1 pm to 5 pm. Give us a call at 707 964 1251 to make an appointment.
We ask for your patience and understanding as the vaccine roll out continues.
