Current Situation:
-
We are sorry to report 7 deaths today. This is the second-highest number of deaths reported in one day in Shasta County, and five of these people were under age 60. Five people were unvaccinated, one was partially vaccinated, and one was fully vaccinated (the second fully vaccinated Shasta County resident to die from COVID-19). This information is shared to underscore that vaccination is highly effective in preventing severe illness and death. In Shasta County, 2 of the 265 people who have died from COVID-19 were fully vaccinated. Fully vaccinated means one dose of Janssen/Johnson & Johnson vaccine, or two doses of the Comirnaty (Pfizer) or Moderna vaccine. A third dose of Pfizer/Moderna is recommended for immunocompromised people. For more information about vaccine safety, visit the Vaccine FAQ page at ShastaReady.org.
-
Vaccination continues to be the path out of the pandemic. For people who said they would “wait and see,” the FDA’s full approval of the Pfizer vaccine provides even more evidence that it is safe and effective. Pfizer is fully approved for people age 16+ and remains under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for those age 12-15.
-
Except for the vaccine, there are no other approved drugs or medications that help prevent COVID-19. For treatment options, visit the Treatment of COVID-19 fact sheet for a list of approved and unapproved medications.
-
Please don’t use the emergency room for non-emergencies, such as COVID-19 testing. Please only go to a hospital emergency department if you’re having a medical emergency. If you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, contact your regular healthcare provider and get tested.
If you’ve been exposed: Follow the isolation/quarantine instructions until you can be tested and receive test results.
If you need to be tested: Find options on the Get Tested page. Please note: Appointments are required at most places due to high demand.
If you need a vaccine: Find options at ShastaReady.org.
