CLERK'S ADDENDUM

The following spoke in opposition to mask and vaccine mandates: Gail, Walnut Creek; Jen, Danville. The following spoke in opposition to vaccine mandates: Kimberly Madison; Mindy; Linda; Nicole Fox; Nandine; Marilyn; Ian. Tony, Walnut Creek, had questions about County statistical reporting.   Dr. Tvieli provided some clarifications:   The United States has excellent vaccine safety system. Side effects from a vaccine are reported to the vaccine event safety system nationwide.  The reports are investigated to find out if they happen to be coincidental or due to the vaccines. Based on those reports, the FDA and CDC will review the reports and determine if there is concern about a particular vaccine.  There are reports filed for covid-19.  They have been investigated.  There is information on the CDC website.  There are no links between covid vaccine and death.   Ivermectin is not a proven treatment for Covid-19 That medication is not yet FDA approved or available to the public at this time.  There are some treatments for Covid-19 infection, including monoclonal antibodies. People suffering or in the early days of covid-19 are advised to speak with their doctor or their  healthcare provider and see what treatments are available to them.   

Frequently Asked Questions and vaccine and mask guidance are available at the cchealth.org website.  The Center for Disease control website regarding Covid-19 is https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus
