Four Bay Area counties are no longer sending COVID-19 vaccine doses to One Medical after recent revelations that the San Francisco-based boutique health care provider allowed some well-connected patients to skip ahead in line, despite not yet being eligible.

Public health officials in San Francisco, San Mateo, Alameda and Marin counties this week all said they’ve suspended deliveries of vaccine doses to the company.

On Monday, the San Francisco Public Health Department ordered the company to return over 1,600 hundred doses of the vaccine.

San Francisco Supervisor Matt Haney says he plans to follow up with the city attorney about investigating the company’s actions.

“We need all of the providers who are receiving the vaccine to share demographic information about who is receiving it and what category they fall into,” he said.

One Medical denies it knowingly disregarded eligibility guidelines, and says it was transparent with San Francisco about its process, and similarly, acted in good faith when it vaccinated teachers in San Mateo County.
