Alameda County is Responsible for Vaccination Programs

Who will qualify for vaccines next?

It may be a naive thought, but the slowness of the vaccine distribution may be worsened by the time needed to develop the excessively bureaucratic categorization system. From some news reports, a lot of vaccine is sitting in warehouses awaiting directions for whom to give it to.
so who or which department in the City of Piedmont is tasked with contacting Alameda Health Dept for a testing program for high risk residents in City of Piedmont???
FOR PIEDMONT INFORMATION: Contact the Piedmont Administration at 510/420-3040.
Read Willie Brown today in the Chronicle. He blames the delay on the overly complicated prioritization system.
