Local radio, Facebook, help Adventist distribute late arriving vaccines in Fort Bragg on Sunday

FORT BRAGG, 2/23/21 — When Mendocino County Supervisor Ted Williams posted, about noon on Sunday (on Facebook and the MCN listserve) that there were 45 doses of COVID-19 vaccine available immediately through Adventist Mendocino Coast Hospital in Fort Bragg for the first people who could get there, it seemed like an unusual way to give out the most coveted product in existence. 

But it all made sense after going there. About 20 people who had read the Facebook post were turned away but 45 lucky people, including some younger people who would not have been otherwise qualified, got the vaccine. Every shot was used.
