  • COVID-19 Testing / Vaccination Update
    COVID-19 Testing / Vaccination Update Westside Regional Center Hello everyone, Westside Regional Center would like to provide you with the most current COVID-19 updates as of 2/3/2021. First, we would like to inform everyone that we will continue to provide our COVID-19 testing clinic at our Culver City location. The clinic will be happening every other week beginning this Friday, February 5, from 10 am to 2 pm. The clinic is open to everyone in our community, including those that we directly support, their family members, and providers. Please utilize the following link to register in advance and select "West LARC" for the site location. COVID-19 Registration Form We want to note that there has been a significant decline in the number of people being tested. This is concerning since people may assume that once vaccinated, they will not contract or spread COVID-19. This is not accurate information. All we know at this point is that those individuals that are vaccinated are significantly less likely to develop moderate to severe symptoms of COVID-19. Although it does appear likely to reduce the risk of transmission, it is unknown to what extent it prevents individuals from contracting COVID-19. It is also unknown to what extent it may or may not reduce the risk of transmission [source: LACDPH]. All of that being said, and particularly since so many people remain unvaccinated, everyone must remain vigilant. This includes regular COVID-19 testing, mask-wearing, and adhering to social distancing practices. We would encourage everyone eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine to make an appointment to get vaccinated.

  • Weekly Briefing
    Placentia, Ca City Administrator's Weekly Briefing From: Damien R. Arrula February 18, 2021 “Rich Heritage, Bright Future” ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT COVID-19 Vaccine Updates The Disneyland Resort Super POD site will close temporarily due to a lack of vaccine supply. Severe weather across the country has delayed delivery of COVID-19 vaccine supplies across the State of California, including to Orange County. The expected Moderna vaccine delivery on Tuesday, February 16th, did not arrive, and as a result, Moderna inventory in the county is very low. State guidance encourages dispensing all vaccine supplies as quickly as possible and does not allow for maintaining large inventory in reserve. The Disney Super POD site, which primarily dispenses the Moderna vaccine, will close today, through Monday, February 22th, pending receipt of additional supply on Monday. The opening of the Anaheim Convention Center site, scheduled for Wednesday, February 24th, is potentially delayed, dependent on Moderna vaccine supply. The Soka University and Santa Ana College sites primarily dispense the Pfizer vaccine. Soka will remain open to provide a second-dose Pfizer vaccine, dependent on vaccine supply. Santa Ana College will temporarily close on Saturday, February 20th; the reopening date is to be determined depending on receipt of additional Pfizer vaccine supply. Everyone who has an appointment at the affected sites will receive a notification through Othena with information regarding rescheduled appointments. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) COVID-19 Vaccine Second Dose Guidelines advise the second dose should be administered as close to the recommended interval as possible (3 weeks for Pfizer-BioNTech, and one month for Moderna).

Rates have been increasing in other parts of the US as restrictions have loosened. As the Bay Area also reopens more in-person activities, we are at a critical and yet hopeful point in the pandemic. Governor Newsom aims to reopen California by June 15 if we can keep cases and hospitalizations low. We can prevent another surge here if we keep up masking, distancing and getting people vaccinated. On April 7, Contra Costa County joined Alameda County in the orange “moderate risk” tier of California’s reopening framework, while Solano County continues to be in the red “substantial risk” tier.
