LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Due to an unanticipated building maintenance need, OptumServe has made the difficult decision to close their Lakeport COVID-19 testing and vaccination site.

This closure was effective Tuesday.

The following answers to frequently asked questions will help you navigate your next steps.

I had a second dose appointment scheduled at the Lakeport OptumServe site. What should I do?

If you had a June 15-21 OptumServe appointment scheduled in Lakeport for your second dose of the Moderna vaccine:

· Thursday, June 17, noon to 4 p.m., Lakeport Elementary School cafeteria, 150 Lange St.

If you had a June 25 to July 12 OptumServe appointment scheduled in Lakeport for your second dose of the Moderna vaccine:

· Friday, July 9, noon to 4 p.m., Lakeport Elementary School cafeteria, 150 Lange St.

No future-dated 1st dose appointments were scheduled at the time of the clinic closure.

What if I am unavailable on the dates of the Lakeport Elementary School clinics?

Visit https://myturn.ca.gov/ or call 833-422-4255 to schedule your appointment. Lake County-focused information and resources are also available at http://health.co.lake.ca.us/Coronavirus/Vaccines.htm.

Please schedule your second dose for the same vaccine (Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna) you received at your 1st dose appointment. If you encounter barriers, and are unable to successfully reschedule, call 707-263-8174.

How many days do I have to wait after my first dose to receive the second?

The recommended interval between doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine is 21 days. The recommended interval between Moderna doses is 28 days. When delays cannot be avoided, the CDC notes waiting up to 42 days between doses is OK.

Remember, you will be considered “fully vaccinated” under the State’s new Public Health Order 14 days following your 2nd dose of either Pfizer or Moderna. It will be safer for you to move about sooner if you get your 2nd doses as close to the recommended interval as possible.

Will the Lower Lake OptumServe site remain open?

OptumServe’s Lower Lake Town Hall, 16195 Main St., COVID-19 testing and vaccination site will continue to operate:

· Testing: Mondays and Thursdays, 7 to 11 a.m., noon to 4 p.m., 5 to 7 p.m., excluding holidays.

What other COVID-19 testing resources are available in Lake County?

A current list is maintained at http://health.co.lake.ca.us/Coronavirus/testing . With more activities opening up, and nearly half (46.8%) of County residents unvaccinated, it is really important to get tested if you experience symptoms of COVID-19.

Se cierra el sitio de vacunación y pruebas de COVID-19 en Lakeport OptumServe; sitio del ayuntamiento de Lower Lake continúa operaciones

Condado de Lake, CA (15 de junio de 2021) — Debido a una necesidad imprevista de mantenimiento del edificio, OptumServe ha tomado la difícil decisión de cerrar su sitio de prueba y vacunación de COVID-19 en Lakeport.

Este cierre es efectivo martes, aunque se espera que continúen las citas de prueba programadas para el resto del día. Las siguientes respuestas a las preguntas frecuentes le ayudarán a seguir los siguientes pasos. ¡Gracias por hacer su parte para mantener su comunidad segura!

Tenía una cita de segunda dosis programada en el sitio de Lakeport OptumServe. ¿Qué tengo que hacer?

Si tenía una cita de OptumServe del 15 al 21 de junio programada en Lakeport para su segunda dosis de la vacuna Moderna:

• Jueves,16 de junio, Cafetería de la Escuela Primaria de Lakeport (150 Lange St., Lakeport), 12-4 pm.

Si tenía una cita de OptumServe del 25 de junio al 12 de julio programada en Lakeport para su segunda dosis de la vacuna Moderna:

• Viernes, 9 de julio, Cafetería de la Escuela Primaria de Lakeport (150 Lange St., Lakeport), 12-4 pm.

No se programaron citas para la primera dosis con fecha futura en el momento del cierre de la clínica.

¿Qué pasa si no estoy disponible en las fechas de las clínicas de la Escuela Primaria de Lakeport?

Visite https://myturn.ca.gov/ o llame al 833-422-4255 para programar su cita. La información y los recursos centrados en el condado de Lake también están disponibles en http://health.co.lake.ca.us/Coronavirus/Vaccines.htm.

Programe su segunda dosis de la misma vacuna (Pfizer / BioNTech o Moderna) que recibió en su primera cita de dosis. Si encuentra obstáculos y no puede reprogramar con éxito, llame al 707-263-8174.

¿Cuántos días tengo que esperar después de mi primera dosis para recibir la segunda?

El intervalo recomendado entre dosis de la vacuna Pfizer / BioNTech es de 21 días. El intervalo recomendado entre las dosis de Moderna es de 28 días. Cuando no se pueden evitar retrasos, las notas de los CDC esperando hasta 42 días entre dosis está bien.

Recuerde, se le considerará "completamente vacunado" según la nueva Orden de Salud Pública del Estado 14 días después de su segunda dosis de Pfizer o Moderna. Será más seguro para usted moverse antes si recibe su segunda dosis lo más cerca posible del intervalo recomendado.
