But a closer look at each county shows that “better” isn’t the case for all: At least 18 counties have more hospitalized COVID-19 patients today than they did this time last year. Another five have just as many.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vast majority of the ones faring worse are in the Central Valley and rural Northern California, which are still recovering from bad summer surges. Humboldt, Madera and Lassen counties have the biggest year-over-year increases. In Madera, the 7-day average stood at 32 hospitalized patients on Sunday, compared to 13 a year ago. Humboldt had 11 hospitalizations on Sunday compared to three on the same date last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a different — and far better — situation in California’s urban counties. Of the state’s 10 most populous counties, all except Fresno have fewer COVID patients in the hospital today than a year ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles, Alameda and Contra Costa counties are reporting less than half of the COVID-19 hospitalizations of last year. San Diego, Orange, Riverside, Santa Clara, San Bernardino and Sacramento counties have about 30% less.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year’s winter surge was harsh for most of the state. But for some counties — including Butte, Humboldt, Mendocino, Shasta and Placer — this summer and fall were even worse. Some saw more patients hospitalized in summer and fall than they did last winter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Central Valley some local hospitals are still strained. And experts say that’s a dangerous situation going into the holidays when another wave of cases is expected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Gary Herbst, CEO, Kaweah Health Medical Center\"]'In June or July, we literally only had four COVID positive patients in the hospital … but that quickly changed in August.'[/pullquote]“We hope this surge, which we’re just trending down from now, is an indication that hopefully we won’t have another surge.

Although the number is high, Chief Executive Officer Gary Herbst said it is a welcome relief from the 100-plus infected patients hospitalized there since late summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Delta variant has been much more contagious, a bit more severe, where we are seeing more patients require critical care, require significant oxygen, unfortunately,” Herbst said. “In June or July, we literally only had four COVID positive patients in the hospital and were in a bit of a celebratory mood. But that quickly changed in August as we saw our numbers start increasing exponentially.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Why are some counties still struggling?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>According to the California Department of Public Health, from Oct. 24 to Oct. 30, unvaccinated people were 11.9 times more likely to be hospitalized with COVID-19 than those fully vaccinated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Experts say the main driving force behind the increased hospitalizations in some counties is their low vaccination rate. Counties with a smaller portion of vaccinated residents are continuing to see higher hospitalization numbers. For example, Shasta and Merced have vaccination rates of about 50% and both have more COVID-infected people in their hospitals today than this time last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11859829\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/04/RS48434_GettyImages-1310034178-qut.jpg\"]However, that’s not true for all counties: In Humboldt County, about 76% of the eligible population is at least partially vaccinated — about the same as the state’s average. But Humboldt also had more people in the hospital there this weekend than a year ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reopening of businesses and return to normal activities may be fueling the infections in some counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve also been more open this year, that may be part of the explanation,” said Andrew Noymer, an epidemiologist at UC Irvine who focuses on mortalities during pandemics. With more activity and less masking, infections and hospital rates are likely to remain significant in those counties that have insufficient vaccination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In rural counties, population density ought to be a protective factor, but we’ve seen time and time again that rural locations are not spared. They might get hit later, but they can get hit hard,” Noymer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Noymer, however, is hopeful that most counties have seen the worst of it — either last winter or in the summer. “But we do have some tough sledding ahead, and even if the worst is past us it doesn’t mean this winter won’t be tough.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Andrew Noymer, Epidemiologist, UC Irvine\"]'[Rural counties] might get hit later, but they can get hit hard.'[/pullquote]The number of new infections in most counties have been steadily declining since the summer wave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, in 27 counties the 7-day daily average of new cases last week exceeded 10 infections per 100,000 people — a rate that once signaled widespread transmission and triggered the “purple zone” restrictions on businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Compared to last year, however, infections are down in the vast majority of California.

Humboldt had 11 hospitalizations on Sunday compared to three on the same date last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a different — and far better — situation in California’s urban counties.

Here's what we know so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. Why should immunocompromised people get a third shot?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having a compromised immune system puts you at higher risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19. Studies show that the initial vaccine doses are less effective for people with weakened immune systems, ranging from 59% to 72%, compared to 90% to 94% among people without serious immune deficiencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People with conditions that weaken the immune system are also far more likely to have a breakthrough infection than people without. One U.S. study shows 40% to 44% of hospitalized breakthrough cases are in immunocompromised people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If I was someone who was on one of the medications that was on the CDC list, I would almost consider myself unvaccinated at this point,\" said Dr. David Karp, who heads the \u003ca href=\"https://utswmed.org/doctors/david-karp/\">Division of Rheumatic Diseases \u003c/a>at UT Southwestern Medical Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Karp says that even though the current delta surge has mostly hit unvaccinated people, vaccinated but immunosuppressed patients also are landing in hospitals with COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For this group of patients, a third shot is going to improve their response to the vaccine and therefore lessen their chances of either contracting the disease or having a more serious disease,\" said Karp, who is also president of the board of directors of the American College of Rheumatology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm really excited,\" said Pat Beale, 59, of Boise, Idaho, who lives with a liver transplant and takes medicine that suppresses his immune system. He plans to get his third dose within the next week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. Who should get third shots?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only a very small group of people with weakened immune systems qualify for the third dose. The CDC is recommending it for \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/recommendations/immuno.html\">moderately to severely immunocompromised \u003c/a>people, including those who have:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Been receiving active cancer treatment for tumors or cancers of the blood.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Received an organ transplant and are taking medicine to suppress the immune system.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Received a stem cell transplant within the last two years or are taking medicine to suppress the immune system.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Moderate or severe primary immunodeficiency (such as DiGeorge syndrome or Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome).\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Advanced or untreated HIV infection.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Active treatment with high-dose corticosteroids or other drugs that may suppress the immune response.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>The recommendation is limited to adults 18 and older for the Moderna vaccine because that vaccine has not been authorized for adolescents yet. The Pfizer vaccine is authorized for adolescents 12 and older, and adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. I don't know if I'm immunocompromised, but I do have a chronic disease that makes me vulnerable to severe COVID-19 — should I be getting a third shot?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many people may consider themselves at higher risk of serious illness from COVID-19 due to age or a preexisting condition, and may want another dose of vaccine. But, for now, an additional shot is only recommended for people who meet the CDC's criteria for being immunocompromised.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People with other chronic conditions — even those that put them at higher risk for severe COVID-19 — are not authorized to get an additional dose at this point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This would not include long-term care facility residents, persons with diabetes, persons with heart disease. Those types of chronic medical conditions are not the intent here,\" said Dr. Amanda Cohn, former chief medical officer for the CDC’s COVID-19 Vaccine Task Force, at Friday's CDC committee meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's not clear yet whether or when a booster will be recommended more broadly to vulnerable populations, though this is already underway in other countries including Israel. Health officials are currently tracking how well immunity holds up in people enrolled in the vaccine clinical trials. Those trials will determine the timing of booster shots, officials of both the FDA and CDC say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. Can I just sign up to get the shot or should I talk to my doctor first? And do I have to prove I'm immunosuppressed?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Start by talking with the health care provider you see for your immune-suppressing condition or its treatment. A doctor's note is not likely to be required at vaccine sites — a person just needs to inform the staff that they are moderately to severely immunocompromised. However, it's best to get your doctor's input before getting the shot, says \u003ca href=\"https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/profiles/details/dorry-segev\">Dr. Dorry Segev\u003c/a>, a transplant surgeon and researcher at Johns Hopkins Medicine who has been studying COVID-19 vaccination among organ transplant recipients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says that your doctor can help you determine whether the benefits of getting a third shot outweigh any risks in your particular case. \"My hope is that this will be an individual patient-provider shared decision,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For people with compromised immune systems, \"every time we activate the immune system, there is a risk,\" Segev said. For instance, transplant recipients could risk rejection of the organ. \u003cstrong>\"\u003c/strong>These things need to be done in a very careful, deliberate, thoughtful way with people's medical teams,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For patients with certain conditions, it may be necessary to pause their immune-suppressing medications temporarily to let the third dose of the vaccine take effect, explained Karp. So talk to your doctor about your situation and how to increase your chances of having the vaccine be effective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. If I get a third shot, how good is the protection?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are many reasons people can be immunosuppressed — it's often a combination of their age, their medical conditions, and the treatments and drugs they're taking. While studies show that a third vaccine dose can boost antibody responses in some people, it's not universally guaranteed to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immunocompromised people who get a third shot should still be aware they're not necessarily safe from COVID-19, warned Vanderbilt University Professor \u003ca href=\"https://wag.app.vanderbilt.edu/PublicPage/Faculty/Details/32055\">Dr. Helen Keipp Talbot \u003c/a>during a committee meeting of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/index.html\">Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think the reality is they'll be safer, but still at an incredibly high risk for severe disease and death.\" And everyone they spend time with also needs to be vaccinated, to protect them, Talbot says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a presentation to the committee, the CDC's Dr. Kathleen Dooling said immunocompromised people, including those who receive an additional dose, should continue to follow prevention measures, including wearing a mask, staying six feet apart from others they don't live with and avoiding crowds and poorly ventilated indoor spaces. And she urged close contacts of immunocompromised people to get vaccinated if they haven't already.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6. Do I need to get the same vaccine I got for my first two doses? And what do I do if I got the J&J vaccine?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CDC recommends you get the same vaccine you got for your first two doses, so if you got the Pfizer or Moderna for the first two doses, get that one for your third shot. But if that is not feasible, the CDC committee said an additional dose with the alternate vaccine is permitted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently only the Pfizer and the Moderna vaccines are authorized for an additional dose. If you got the J&J, you still aren't eligible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FDA says that there wasn't enough data available to extend the authorization for an additional dose for the J&J shots. Representatives of both the FDA and the CDC said that they are \"actively engaged\" to determine the best course of action for recipients of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine and expect to know more \"very shortly.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2021 NPR.

He applauds the FDA's decision, but says the agency could have acted faster, noting that countries like Israel, France and the U.K. have already made this move.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friday's recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention leave some questions about exactly who is eligible for an additional dose and how to get it. Here's what we know so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. Why should immunocompromised people get a third shot?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having a compromised immune system puts you at higher risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19. Studies show that the initial vaccine doses are less effective for people with weakened immune systems, ranging from 59% to 72%, compared to 90% to 94% among people without serious immune deficiencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People with conditions that weaken the immune system are also far more likely to have a breakthrough infection than people without. One U.S. study shows 40% to 44% of hospitalized breakthrough cases are in immunocompromised people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If I was someone who was on one of the medications that was on the CDC list, I would almost consider myself unvaccinated at this point,\" said Dr. David Karp, who heads the \u003ca href=\"https://utswmed.org/doctors/david-karp/\">Division of Rheumatic Diseases \u003c/a>at UT Southwestern Medical Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Karp says that even though the current delta surge has mostly hit unvaccinated people, vaccinated but immunosuppressed patients also are landing in hospitals with COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For this group of patients, a third shot is going to improve their response to the vaccine and therefore lessen their chances of either contracting the disease or having a more serious disease,\" said Karp, who is also president of the board of directors of the American College of Rheumatology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm really excited,\" said Pat Beale, 59, of Boise, Idaho, who lives with a liver transplant and takes medicine that suppresses his immune system. He plans to get his third dose within the next week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. Who should get third shots?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only a very small group of people with weakened immune systems qualify for the third dose. The CDC is recommending it for \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/recommendations/immuno.html\">moderately to severely immunocompromised \u003c/a>people, including those who have:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Been receiving active cancer treatment for tumors or cancers of the blood.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Received an organ transplant and are taking medicine to suppress the immune system.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Received a stem cell transplant within the last two years or are taking medicine to suppress the immune system.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Moderate or severe primary immunodeficiency (such as DiGeorge syndrome or Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome).\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Advanced or untreated HIV infection.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Active treatment with high-dose corticosteroids or other drugs that may suppress the immune response.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>The recommendation is limited to adults 18 and older for the Moderna vaccine because that vaccine has not been authorized for adolescents yet. The Pfizer vaccine is authorized for adolescents 12 and older, and adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. I don't know if I'm immunocompromised, but I do have a chronic disease that makes me vulnerable to severe COVID-19 — should I be getting a third shot?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many people may consider themselves at higher risk of serious illness from COVID-19 due to age or a preexisting condition, and may want another dose of vaccine. But, for now, an additional shot is only recommended for people who meet the CDC's criteria for being immunocompromised.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People with other chronic conditions — even those that put them at higher risk for severe COVID-19 — are not authorized to get an additional dose at this point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This would not include long-term care facility residents, persons with diabetes, persons with heart disease. Those types of chronic medical conditions are not the intent here,\" said Dr. Amanda Cohn, former chief medical officer for the CDC’s COVID-19 Vaccine Task Force, at Friday's CDC committee meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's not clear yet whether or when a booster will be recommended more broadly to vulnerable populations, though this is already underway in other countries including Israel. Health officials are currently tracking how well immunity holds up in people enrolled in the vaccine clinical trials. Those trials will determine the timing of booster shots, officials of both the FDA and CDC say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. Can I just sign up to get the shot or should I talk to my doctor first? And do I have to prove I'm immunosuppressed?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Start by talking with the health care provider you see for your immune-suppressing condition or its treatment. A doctor's note is not likely to be required at vaccine sites — a person just needs to inform the staff that they are moderately to severely immunocompromised. However, it's best to get your doctor's input before getting the shot, says \u003ca href=\"https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/profiles/details/dorry-segev\">Dr. Dorry Segev\u003c/a>, a transplant surgeon and researcher at Johns Hopkins Medicine who has been studying COVID-19 vaccination among organ transplant recipients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says that your doctor can help you determine whether the benefits of getting a third shot outweigh any risks in your particular case. \"My hope is that this will be an individual patient-provider shared decision,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For people with compromised immune systems, \"every time we activate the immune system, there is a risk,\" Segev said. For instance, transplant recipients could risk rejection of the organ. \u003cstrong>\"\u003c/strong>These things need to be done in a very careful, deliberate, thoughtful way with people's medical teams,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For patients with certain conditions, it may be necessary to pause their immune-suppressing medications temporarily to let the third dose of the vaccine take effect, explained Karp. So talk to your doctor about your situation and how to increase your chances of having the vaccine be effective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. If I get a third shot, how good is the protection?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are many reasons people can be immunosuppressed — it's often a combination of their age, their medical conditions, and the treatments and drugs they're taking. While studies show that a third vaccine dose can boost antibody responses in some people, it's not universally guaranteed to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immunocompromised people who get a third shot should still be aware they're not necessarily safe from COVID-19, warned Vanderbilt University Professor \u003ca href=\"https://wag.app.vanderbilt.edu/PublicPage/Faculty/Details/32055\">Dr. Helen Keipp Talbot \u003c/a>during a committee meeting of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/index.html\">Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think the reality is they'll be safer, but still at an incredibly high risk for severe disease and death.\" And everyone they spend time with also needs to be vaccinated, to protect them, Talbot says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a presentation to the committee, the CDC's Dr. Kathleen Dooling said immunocompromised people, including those who receive an additional dose, should continue to follow prevention measures, including wearing a mask, staying six feet apart from others they don't live with and avoiding crowds and poorly ventilated indoor spaces. And she urged close contacts of immunocompromised people to get vaccinated if they haven't already.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6. Do I need to get the same vaccine I got for my first two doses? And what do I do if I got the J&J vaccine?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CDC recommends you get the same vaccine you got for your first two doses, so if you got the Pfizer or Moderna for the first two doses, get that one for your third shot. But if that is not feasible, the CDC committee said an additional dose with the alternate vaccine is permitted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently only the Pfizer and the Moderna vaccines are authorized for an additional dose. If you got the J&J, you still aren't eligible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FDA says that there wasn't enough data available to extend the authorization for an additional dose for the J&J shots. Representatives of both the FDA and the CDC said that they are \"actively engaged\" to determine the best course of action for recipients of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine and expect to know more \"very shortly.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2021 NPR.

One legal expert \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/2021/08/california-vaccines-teachers-mandate/\">told CalMatters\u003c/a> that because the vaccines were not yet fully approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, a unilateral mandate from either the state or local districts could be vulnerable to legal challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Sacramento City Unified, district administrators and the teachers union met on Tuesday afternoon to discuss a vaccine or testing requirement for teachers. According to David Fisher, president of the Sacramento City Teachers Association, no formal agreement was reached, but he said the union and the district appeared to be on the same page.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fisher said that with the delta variant, vaccinations alone aren’t enough. He said SCTA is calling for weekly testing for even vaccinated teachers who could pass the more contagious delta variant to unvaccinated students or staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think there should be an increased emphasis on testing,” he said. “While the science becomes more clear, we think universal testing should be a goal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CAgovernor/status/1425522323126329346\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past two weeks, the state also issued \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/2021/07/26/california-implements-first-in-the-nation-measures-to-encourage-state-employees-and-health-care-workers-to-get-vaccinated/\">vaccination or regular testing mandates for state employees and health care workers\u003c/a>. On Sunday, Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, the country’s second largest teachers union, added to this momentum by calling for vaccine requirements for educators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and President Biden's chief medical adviser on COVID-19, said Tuesday morning in an \u003ca href=\"https://www.msnbc.com/morning-joe/watch/dr-fauci-there-s-no-doubt-these-vaccines-will-be-fully-approved-by-fda-118264901984\">interview on MSNBC,\u003c/a> “I’m going to upset some people on this, but I think we should [require teacher vaccinations].

A causa de estos problemas, un grupo de voluntarios crearon VaccinateCA, un sitio que demuestra centros de vacunación cerca de la persona que visite la página y además incluye la disponibilidad actual y detalles de cómo agendar una cita. Puede leer aquí cómo funciona VaccinateCA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>La demanda por las vacunas aún es mayor que el suministro actual del estado, lo que quiere decir que es bastante díficil encontrar vacunas en ciertos lugares. Esto también significa que si usted quiere agendar una cita por Internet, puede ser necesario recargar y visitar varias veces el sitio web para ver si ha cambiado la disponibilidad. Con el paso del tiempo, California recibirá más vacunas y es posible que la situacion mejore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¿Hay algo que pueda hacer para aumentar la probabilidad que le toque una vacuna? Vale la pena conocer cómo navegar las varias plataformas que existen para agendar una vacunación para que esté preparado cuando llegue su turno. Visite el sitio de ‘My Turn’, las páginas vacunación de su condado y averigue cuáles farmacias cerca de ti ofrecen la vacuna.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En caso que 'My Turn' le informe que no hay vacunas disponibles este momento, desplace la página hacia abajo para encontrar una lista de farmacias y clínicas que podrían tener citas disponibles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Otra estrategia para encontrar una cita es tener a la mano la información de su seguro médico. Muchas plataformas de vacunación le preguntarán que comparta detalles de su cobertura médica, si es que cuenta con un seguro médico. En ocasiones, lo que piden son fotos de ambos lados de la tarjeta que tiene la información sobre su póliza. Por eso, es buena idea saber donde tiene guardada la tarjeta y luego tener las fotos listas en su teléfono móvil y computadora en caso que las necesite encontrar rápidamente.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Si no tiene un seguro médico, no se preocupe: aún tiene derecho a una vacuna gratuita y no le pueden negar una vacunación por falta de cobertura médica. California también garantiza vacunas gratis para todas las personas indocumentadas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>También puede registrarse para recibir notificaciones a través de ‘My Turn’ a su teléfono móvil o correo electrónico el momento en que ya esté disponible la vacuna.

Puede leer más sobre la efectividad de las vacunas \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1972824/covid-19-vaccine-your-questions-answered#question1\">aquí\u003c/a> (en inglés).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los CDC \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/faq.html\">dicen que deberías\u003c/a> de \"ponerte cualquier vacuna de COVID-19 que este disponible cuando seas elegible\", y que no deberías esperar para recibir una en específico. Todas las vacunas contra COVID-19 autorizadas y recomendadas son seguras y efectivas, dicen los CDC, y no tienen preferencia sobre una vacuna. Entonces, básicamente, recibe la vacuna que te ofrecen cuando agentes tu cita. Incluso si tratas de \"escoger\" una, probablemente batallarás en hacerlo, debido al poco suministro y que las citas no siempre son catalogadas por tipo de vacuna.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Si por razones médicas no puedes recibir una marca de COVID-19 en específico debido a alergias a los ingredientes, los CDC \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/recommendations/specific-groups/allergies.html\">recomiendan\u003c/a> que hables con tu doctor sobre recibir otro tipo de vacuna contra COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los efectos secundarios, como el dolor o el hinchazón en el área inyectada, o los dolores de cabeza, fatigas o escalofríos, después de recibir la vacuna son normales. Son la manera en que tu sistema inmunológico te avisa que la vacuna está funcionando, y que tu cuerpo esta creando anticuerpos. \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/expect/after.html\">Lee más sobre los posibles efectos secundarios de las vacunas contra COVID-19 en este enlace\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>¿Cuándo puedo recibir la segunda dosis?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Si recibes la vacuna Pfizer-BioNTech, necesitarás recibir la segunda dosis tres semanas (21 días) después. Si recibes la vacuna de Moderna, necesitarás recibir la segunda dosis un mes (28 días) después. No se necesita una segunda dosis de la vacuna de Johnson & Johnson/Janssen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recibe tu segunda dosis de las vacunas de Pfizer-BioNTech o Moderna lo más cerca posible del intervalo de tiempo. Sin embargo, si tu segunda dosis es demorada o re agendada, no te preocupes. Los CDC dicen que la segunda dosis puede ser recibida hasta seis semanas (42 días) después de la primera, si es necesario. Pero no deberías de recibir la segunda dosis antes antes de lo recomendado.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¿Pero qué pasa cuando quieres agendar tu segunda dosis? Si no fuiste invitado a agendar tu segunda cita cuando agendaste la primera, asegúrate de investigar cuando deberías de agendar la segunda dosis durante tu primera cita. Algunos sitios de darán la información en el momento y otras te contactarán después (por correo electrónico, por ejemplo) para agendar tu segunda dosis. Intenta no dejar tu primera cita sin saber esta información. Si estás confundido en como debes de agendar tu segunda cita, contacta al sitio o a la organización que te proveyó tu primera vacuna.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recuerda: No estás inmediatamente protegido en contra del coronavirus después de tu primera vacuna. Le toma un tiempo a tu cuerpo el generar los anticuerpos necesarios para darte protección en contra de COVID-19. Los CDC dicen que te deberías de considerar \"completamente protegido\" dos semanas después de tu segunda dosis de Pfizer-BioNTech o Moderna, o dos semanas después de tu única dosis de Johnson & Johnson/Janssen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Puede leer más sobre su esto en este \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1972824/covid-19-vaccine-your-questions-answered#question11\">enlace\u003c/a> (en inglés).\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"voluntario\">\u003c/a>¿Puedo enlistarme como voluntario para recibir la vacuna COVID-19?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11863744\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11863744\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/03/022821_UFWvaccine_AI_03-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"farmworker gets vaccine shot\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mauricio Chavez de Hollister recibe la vacuna contra COVID-19 en Morgan Hill el 28 de Feb., 2021. \u003ccite>(Ana Ibarra/CalMatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>‘\u003ca href=\"https://myturn.ca.gov/\">My Turn\u003c/a>’ ahora tiene un nuevo portal de \u003ca href=\"https://myturnvolunteer.ca.gov/s/landing\">registro de voluntarios\u003c/a> llamado ‘My Turn Volunteer', donde \u003ca href=\"https://myturnvolunteer.ca.gov/s/landing\">puede registrarse\u003c/a> para turnos de \"apoyo general\" médicos y no médicos en los sitios de vacunación de California a través del estado.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>La gran noticia: según lo informado por \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/news/editorspicks/article/volunteer-California-vaccine-MyTurnVolunteer-16009060.php\">SFGate\u003c/a> (en inglés), trabajar cuatro horas o más como voluntario de My Turn lo hará elegible para recibir una vacuna COVID-19 con la aprobación del administrador de la clínica, aunque no esté en un grupo prioritario en este momento (por ejemplo, 65 años o más) según el estado.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Visite el sitio de \u003ca href=\"https://myturnvolunteer.ca.gov/s/landing\">My Turn Volunteer\u003c/a> para obtener más información y visite nuestra guía de voluntariado para \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11859540/covid-19-vaccines-how-to-volunteer-to-help-distribution\">leer más\u003c/a> sobre las oportunidades para ser voluntario, tanto en persona como a distancia.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>¿Qué hay de estos sitios de vacunación masiva de los que he oído hablar?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11861129\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11861129\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/01/Image-from-iOS-25-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/01/Image-from-iOS-25-1.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/01/Image-from-iOS-25-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/01/Image-from-iOS-25-1-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/01/Image-from-iOS-25-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/01/Image-from-iOS-25-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cornelia Arzaga, de 76 años y residente de San José, se prepara para recibir su primera dosis de la vacuna contra COVID-19 en el estadio de Levi’s el 9 de febrero del 2021. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Si ya escuchó las noticias que se planea abrir varios centros de vacunación masiva en el Área de la Bahía, tenga en cuenta que algunos ya abrieron.

Con el paso del tiempo, California recibirá más vacunas y es posible que la situacion mejore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¿Hay algo que pueda hacer para aumentar la probabilidad que le toque una vacuna? Vale la pena conocer cómo navegar las varias plataformas que existen para agendar una vacunación para que esté preparado cuando llegue su turno.

Muchas plataformas de vacunación le preguntarán que comparta detalles de su cobertura médica, si es que cuenta con un seguro médico. En ocasiones, lo que piden son fotos de ambos lados de la tarjeta que tiene la información sobre su póliza. Por eso, es buena idea saber donde tiene guardada la tarjeta y luego tener las fotos listas en su teléfono móvil y computadora en caso que las necesite encontrar rápidamente.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Si no tiene un seguro médico, no se preocupe: aún tiene derecho a una vacuna gratuita y no le pueden negar una vacunación por falta de cobertura médica.
