RE: Urgent Need for Changes in California’s Vaccine Formula to Integrate Hardest-Hit Communities in the Bay Area

Dear Secretary Ghaly and Secretary Richardson:

The undersigned urge you to address a critical disparity and inequity in the latest state vaccine distribution plan unveiled late in the week of March 1st. While we applaud and support the intent to expand equitable access to the vaccine, the newly announced vaccine equity metric leaves behind many underserved communities and vulnerable individuals in the Bay Area that have been hardest- hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. This formula must be changed to adequately supply vaccines to those in our state that need it the most.

The current metric allocates 40 percent of available doses of the COVID-19 vaccine to 8 million California residents for the communities in the lowest quartile of the “Healthy Places Index” which translates to 446 zip codes across our state.

Even though the Bay Area accounts for 20 percent of the population of California, only 2 percent of Bay Area residents fall under the affected zip codes determined through this newly established vaccine metric. Only 10 zip codes in the Bay Area are prioritized through this formula, while 79 zip codes in Los Angeles County and 39 zip codes in San Bernardino County have been identified. Most prioritized zip codes fall in Southern California while most counties in the Bay Area - Santa Clara, San Mateo, Marin, Sonoma and Napa – have no zip codes prioritized through this formula and only 4% of residents, 3% of Contra Costa County residents and 7% of Alameda County residents fall in those zip codes that are prioritized. 1,2

The formula excludes zip codes in the Bay Area that have infection rates that are nearly twice that of the state’s overall rate.3 This is clearly not an equitable approach to vaccine distribution and one that is completely disadvantaging the Bay Area.

This is a matter of life and death for our community. This plan needs to be restructured and recalibrated immediately.

Peer-reviewed research demonstrates that wealthier households in California are getting vaccinated at nearly twice the rate of lower income households that are at a higher risk of becoming infected.1 While targeting low-income households for vaccine priority is a needed approach to ensure equity, the Healthy Places Index was developed from census tract data, not zip codes, and, thus, the current approach unfortunately exacerbates geographic and other inequities rather than addressing them.

For instance, while Santa Clara County currently has no zip codes prioritized through the currently Healthy Places Index formula that targets the lowest quartile, the county, in fact, includes a dozen census tracts in the lowest quartile. In San Francisco County, at least 7 census tracts in the lowest quartile do not fall under the only two zip codes prioritized through this formula. Targeting zip codes leaves behind those that have been disproportionately impacted in zip codes that have affluent neighborhoods directly near lower-income communities. Areas across the Bay Area, places that have been disproportionally impacted by higher rates of COVID-19 such East Palo Alto, Hayward, the Mission District and Bayview District in San Francisco, Marin City, portions of San Rafael and Santa Rosa, Concord, and East San Jose, have all been left out of the vaccine prioritization formula.

Bay Area counties, including local governments, community clinics, health and hospital systems, and trusted community-based messengers, have a proven history of working collectively to address the root causes of health inequity, including the socioeconomic and racial divides that have become more visible to many during the current COVID-19 public health emergency. To ensure a fair, equitable, and culturally competent vaccine rollout, the state must identify and address structural and systemic inequalities in our public health systems and reconsider the current approach to the allocation of these precious and scarce life-saving vaccines

We thank you for your service to the community during these difficult times and for your consideration of this urgent request.
