'The only exception would be a person who lives in a bubble,' said Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer.
Some health officials, including in California, are increasingly pointing out that eligibility criteria can be interpreted in a more expansive way.
Increasing the uptake of booster shots, getting unvaccinated people to begin the regimen and wearing masks in indoor public spaces and crowded outdoor spots are essential strategies to stave off a winter COVID-19 surge, Ferrer said. To vaccine providers, Aragón directed: “Do not turn a patient away who is requesting a booster,” as long as enough time has passed since the initial vaccination.Experts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have set aside herd immunity as a national target for ending the pandemic.
“Pretty much everybody is eligible,” said Dr. Sara Cody, the county’s health officer and public health director. “We really encourage everyone to get out and get their booster shot.”
