Two Sonoma County vaccine clinics to close at the end of February

En español »

COVID-19 vaccine clinics at the Rohnert Park Community Center and the Roseland Community Clinic in Santa Rosa will close by the end of February. The Roseland clinic will close on Feb. 25 and the Rohnert Park clinic will close on Feb. 28, the day that Gov. Gavin Newsom plans to lift California’s COVID-19 state of emergency.

The two clinics, which the county has supported since the COVID-19 vaccine became available to the public in December 2020, have been integral in the constellation of vaccine clinics that have delivered more than 1.2 million doses to Sonoma County residents. Since Jan. 27, 2021, vaccine provider Optum Serve has delivered more than 23,400 doses of vaccine at the Rohnert Park Community Center. Meanwhile, county contractor Fox Home Health has provided more than 45,000 doses at the Roseland Community Clinic located at 779 Sebastopol Road in Santa Rosa as well as through a program to vaccinate homebound seniors.

“These two clinics have really been the workhorses of our vaccination campaign since the early days of the pandemic,” said Dr. Sundari Mase, Sonoma County’s Health Officer. “We are deeply grateful to all of those who have worked at these clinics, which have played such a central role in our success in getting 80 percent of our eligible population vaccinated.”

After the end of the month, vaccines will still be available to the public through primary health care providers, federally qualified health clinics and most pharmacies. Patients insured through Medi-Cal will have to re-enroll after March 31 as the pandemic-era law allowing Californians to automatically renew Medi-Cal insurance will expire.

Sonoma County has fully vaccinated nearly 80 percent of all residents 6 months and older. In addition, more than 30 percent of eligible residents have had the latest round of booster shots compared with the state rate of 24 percent.

The Roseland and Rohnert Park clinics were established to ensure the vaccine was distributed equitably and helped contribute to the high vaccine rate among minority communities. In Sonoma County, 70 percent of Latinx residents, 75 percent of Asian residents and 79 percent of Black residents have had at least one vaccine dose.
