San Francisco opens up vaccines to those 16 and older in select ZIP codes – San Francisco Chronicle

The ZIP codes — 94124, 94134, 94107, 94110, 94112, 94102, 94130 and 94103 — are located in the following neighborhoods: the Bayview, Hunters Points, Visitacion Valley, Portola, Sunnydale, Excelsior, Mission, Oceanview, Ingleside, Balboa Park, Potrero Hill, the Dogpatch, Mission Bay, SoMa, Tenderloin and Treasure Island.

“The state of California provides discretion to providers serving high impact areas on who to vaccinate to support prioritization of communities most impacted by the pandemic,” San Francisco’s COVID Command Center said in a statement to The Chronicle on Friday night. “San Francisco is expanding vaccine eligibility and offering COVID-19 vaccinations to those 16 and over ahead of the April 15, 2021 citywide expansion in neighborhoods most impacted by the pandemic.”

Two of the eligible ZIP codes are also on the state’s list of 400 lowest-income ZIP codes being prioritized for vaccine access.

Residents can drop-in to the Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital every day from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. or the Southeast Health Center in the Bayview-Hunters Point neighborhood also daily from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Individuals ages 16 and 17 must go to the General Hospital since it’s giving out Pfizer — the only shot they’re eligible for — while the Southeast Health Center administers Moderna.

The San Francisco Health Network opened up vaccines to its patients 16 and older last week, and Alameda County likewise recently opened vaccine access to residents 16 and older in select ZIP codes. A few other counties — Contra Costa, Butte and Stanislaus — have already opened up vaccines to all residents 16 and older, regardless of ZIP code.
