Napa County pauses COVID-19 vaccine rollout to save second doses


Napa County residents who have already received their first dose of COVID-19 vaccine may have to wait a little longer than anticipated to receive their second shot because the county is running out, according to health officials. First-dose clinics have been paused as the county catches up on giving second doses, Relucio said. The Moderna vaccine’s two doses are usually delivered 28 days apart, and the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine recommends giving the second dose after 21 days. But guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention allows for six weeks between the first and second doses. County health officials said 58 people have died from COVID-19, with most deaths occurring in January.
