The state is requiring counties to transition to a new system called My Turn to register for and schedule vaccination appointments as they become available. Access the system at myturn.ca.gov. More information about local implementation will be released next week. 

3 New Cases Reported Today 

A total of 3,492 Humboldt County residents have tested positive for COVID-19 after three new cases were reported today.

Press release from the Humboldt County Joint Information Center:

A total of 3,219 Humboldt County residents have tested positive for COVID-19 after nine new cases were reported today. 

Humboldt County Public Health continues to scale up COVID-19 vaccination clinics as vaccine supply allows. To prepare for an anticipated increase in vaccine allocation and assist planning for future mass-vaccination efforts, Public Health vaccinated 1,000 county residents in about eight hours at a single clinic last week. This week, Public Health and local health care partners are expected to administer 2,300 doses at five large-scale clinics in addition to doses administered directly by local approved vaccinators to their patients. 

The California Department of Public Health today reported that Humboldt County has accumulated a week of metrics to move to a more restrictive tier under the state’s “Blueprint for a Safer Economy,” with a positivity rate of 3.0% and an adjusted case rate of 8.2 per 100,000 residents. That means if local virus data does not improve, the county could be reassigned to the “Purple” or Widespread tier as early as next week. Health officials urge residents to limit the spread of COVID-19 by recommitting to prevention measures, adding that these measures support businesses staying open and protect the health of the community.

Press release from the Humboldt County Joint Information Center:

A total of 3,124 Humboldt County residents have tested positive for COVID-19 after 57 new cases have been reported since Friday.  

Recent reports from local providers indicate that some patients seeking care for mild cold- or allergy-like symptoms test positive for COVID-19. Health officials point out that many people who contract the virus will experience mild symptoms, which makes it more likely an infected person will pass the virus along to others before they realize they’re sick and possibly expose someone who could be more prone to complications. 

Public Health officials renewed their call for community members to get tested regularly, saying anyone who thinks they have a cold, food poisoning or allergies should isolate and get tested for COVID-19. For a full list of no-cost testing options, go to humboldtgov.org/COVIDTestRegistration.  

Humboldt County Public Health, in partnership with local approved vaccinators, is planning three large-scale vaccination clinics this week where approximately 2,500 vaccines are expected to be administered. Of those, 1,500 are scheduled as second doses and 1,000 as first doses. Vaccination is available by appointment to people age 70 and over, health care workers, K-12 educators and support staff, emergency services workers and licensed child care providers. County residents can be notified when an appointment is available for their age group by filling out the online COVID-19 Vaccine Interest Form. 

To complete the Interest Form in English, visit humboldtgov.org/InterestForm.

Press release from the Humboldt County Joint Information Center:

A total of 2,976 Humboldt County residents have tested positive for COVID-19, after 16 additional cases were reported today.

As of Monday, Feb. 8, Humboldt County has been allocated 20,960 doses of COVID-19 vaccine, including Pfizer and Moderna. Because a sixth dose can often be extracted from each vial of the Pfizer vaccine, Public Health and other approved local vaccinators have maximized the state’s allocation and administered a total of 21,230 doses. 

Local health care providers who are approved to administer vaccine are reaching out to their qualifying patients directly to schedule vaccination appointments. 

Public Health is using information submitted through the online Vaccine Interest Form to fill slots at its mass vaccination clinics. County residents are encouraged to fill out the form at humboldtgov.org/InterestForm to be notified when an appointment is available for their tier.

Press release from the Humboldt County Joint Information Center:

Sixty-five additional cases of COVID-19 have been reported since Friday. Three recently reported cases were determined to be from out of county and one was a duplicate, so the total number of county residents who have tested positive for the virus now stands at 2,815.

All datasets on the Humboldt County COVID-19 Data Dashboard have been updated. Some highlights include:

  • The 20-29 age group continues to represent the largest percentage of local cases at just over 24%, though the 10-19 age group saw the highest increase in cases since last week with 38 new infections.
  • Humboldt County’s confirmed case rate is 2,113 per 100,000 residents. The state and national rates are more than three times higher at 8,247 and 7,947 per 100,000 residents respectively.
  • The county has seen a 6.4% increase in cases over last week, and the case doubling time is 44 days. 

Go to humboldtgov.org/dashboard to view the latest data. 

Humboldt County Public Health continues to use every dose of the COVID-19 vaccine it is allocated on a weekly basis. Due to limited vaccine supply, Public Health has canceled its large-scale vaccination clinics for the week and reassigned available resources to support other providers’ clinics. 

By the end of this week, all approved local vaccinators, including Public Health, are expected to receive a total of 3,775 doses. Those will be administered to health care workers, first responders, people age 75 and over as well as in-person educators and support staff, based on priorities outlined by the California Department of Public Health.  

First dose vaccinations are expected to slow in the coming weeks as nearly 6,000 people are set to begin receiving appointment invitations to schedule their second dose in February and March. Large groups are due for their second dose at once due to the Moderna pause, which, once lifted, led to many first dose vaccinations being given in a shorter period of time than was anticipated. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that the second dose of both approved vaccines can be given as many as 42 days after the first. 

County residents are urged to continue practicing COVID-19 safety measures until vaccine supply can meet demand, which is likely to take many months. Regular testing for COVID-19 remains critically important in identifying cases early to prevent further spread.  

Scheduling an appointment in advance at an OptumServe test site is the best way to ensure a test is available, but walk-ins are accepted at all sites. Results are typically returned in about 72 hours. Call 888-634-1123 or go to lhi.care/covidtesting to schedule.

A total of 2,458 Humboldt County residents have tested positive for COVID-19, after 31 new cases were reported today. 

Humboldt County Public Health and local providers have resumed using Lot 041L20A of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine after the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) announced it was safe to administer. 

CDPH had asked counties to pause use of the lot when seven vaccine recipients at a single location in San Diego experienced severe allergic reactions. The agency, along with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration and Moderna, found that there was “no scientific basis to continue the pause.” 

Humboldt County Health Officer Dr. Ian Hoffman said he was grateful to the state for acting quickly to ensure the safety of the vaccine supply and added that he is excited to resume distribution of all vaccine on hand. “There’s a system in place to detect any issues with the vaccine, and that system worked,” he said. “Public Health has 3,170 doses on hand to administer. More than 2,500 of those were affected by this pause—600 first doses and 1,900 second doses—and we want people to know they’re safe.” The remainder of the Moderna lot was distributed to local health care providers, and all are clear to resume administering those doses. 

“Given the severity of this pandemic, any delay in vaccination is significant, so we are pleased to resume our plans to vaccinate older adults,” Dr. Hoffman said. 

On Wednesday, 285 people were vaccinated at Public Health vaccination clinics with an estimated 290 additional vaccinations expected to be administered today and about 400 appointments scheduled for Friday. Local health care providers also continue to provide vaccinations to their patients. Appointments are invitation only and currently prioritized for Phase 1A health care workers who have not received their first dose and residents over the age of 75. 

Providers approved to administer vaccine will reach out directly to their patients who are over 75 as vaccine becomes available. For those who do not have a provider or whose doctor is not an approved vaccinator, the Humboldt County Joint Information Center is developing an online interest form for individuals to submit to be notified when vaccination appointments are available for their priority group. Additional information about the interest form will be released next week.
