preview

UPDATE: The allergic reactions that caused California to halt 330,000 vaccine doses occurred at San Diego’s Petco Park. Visit for the latest details.California’s top epidemiologist is warning health providers to delay using a batch of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine after a “higher-than-usual number of possible allergic reactions” were reported at a Southern Calfornia vaccination clinic.The affected lot includes 330,000 doses — roughly 1/10th of what the state so far has distributed.The reaction was observed in fewer than 10 people who required medical attention after receiving the vaccine at one clinic, state epidemiologist Dr. Erica S. Pan said in a statement Sunday night. The conditions of those affected were not released, but health officials described the allergic reaction as “severe.”The clinic is located in San Diego, the California Department of Public Health reported later.“Out of an abundance of caution and also recognizing the extremely limited supply of vaccine,” read the statement, “we are recommending that providers use other available vaccine inventory and pause the administration of vaccines from Moderna Lot 041L20A until the investigation by the CDC, FDA, Moderna and the state is complete.”More than 330,000 doses from the affected lot — which arrived in California between Jan. 5 and Jan. 12 — have been distributed to 287 providers across the state, officials said. No other adverse reactions have been reported from that specific lot.Updated to include drought zones while tracking water shortage status of your area, plus reservoir levels and a list of restrictions for the Bay Area’s largest water districts.“There are not immediate replacement doses during the pause in addition to pending orders scheduled for shipment in the next few days,” public health officials said in the statement sent to health providers.The health department said they would have more information later this week.Michael Williams is a San Francisco Chronicle staff writer.
