CalOptima, County of Orange and OC Health Care Agency (HCA) collaborated to host vaccine events at CalOptima’s office in Orange.  These events were intended to improve health equity and access for CalOptima’s underserved populations. The final vaccine clinic and resource fair targeting low-income, hard-to-reach members was held on Saturday, July 10. At the event, 495 individuals were vaccinated, bringing the six-event total to 5,073 vaccines administered between May 15–July 10. With vaccinations at the events and elsewhere, 52% of CalOptima’s membership age 12 and older is vaccinated, which equates to about 344,000 people.
