Alameda County is at phase 1b and this is about a new vaccination site opened by Alameda County Public Health Dept. (ACPHD).

ACPHD has opened a community vaccination site in Fruitvale, located at Fremont High School at 4610 Foothill Blvd. It’s open Thurs-Sat from 8am to 4pm and appointments are recommended.

They are now able to serve people who are: Age 65+; workers in Childcare and homecare, Education, Food (restaurants, grocery, small food businesses), Emergency Services. They are targeting priority for Alameda County residents who live or work in zip codes 94601, 94603, 94606, 94607, and 94621. Attached are flyers in English & Spanish on the site and on what to expect/bring.

Seniors can of course make appointments themselves by calling 211. Service providers also can make appointments for one or more clients via phone using 211. Reference the flyer and the Fremont High pod.

If you are scheduling an appointment for a resident and they are not there with you at the time, be sure you have the following information:

Age
Zip Code
Race/Ethnicity
Any underlying health condition question (Yes or No)
Healthcare coverage (they have a list to choose from). If they don’t have any, say No coverage.

You can receive the email confirmation for your resident. Be sure to print it out and have them bring it to the vaccine site.
