For Immediate Release March 15, 2021 —
The County of San Mateo, led by the Office of Emergency Services, has begun to develop the County’s updated Multijurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan to address threats such as earthquake, flooding, extreme heat, and landslide.
As local health officers, we fully support all three currently available vaccines for COVID-19. All three vaccines are safe and have been shown to be highly effective at preventing symptomatic illness and hospitalization. The clinical trials for all three vaccines demonstrated that they were 100 percent effective in preventing deaths from COVID-19. There is also growing evidence that all three vaccines help prevent asymptomatic illness, too. This means that people who have been vaccinated are not likely to spread of COVID-19 to others who are not vaccinated.
