The site switched from its original plan to use the Johnson and Johnson COVID-19 to the Pfizer vaccine. California's pause on using the Johnson & Johnson vaccine as federal agencies examine a possible and rare side effect is unlikely to affect vaccination efforts in the nation's most populous state as it moves to start inoculating people 16 and older this week.

School staff in Sonoma County will have to provide proof of coronavirus vaccination even sooner. County Health Officer Dr. Sundari Mase issued a health order yesterday moving up the deadline for school staff to be vaccinated. Teachers, classified staff, and administrators will now need to provide vaccination proof by September 24th. That deadline is a full three weeks earlier than the October 15th deadline given by the state.
