Monterey County is doing a great job at getting our population vaccinated - see chart below. Let's keep it going! CHOMP still has openings for tomorrow for anyone over 18. Register for the Pfizer clinic at chomp.org/covidvaccine.

Thanks to GoWhales @MBayWhaleWatch via Twitter for this amazing photo. They report, on yesterday's excursion "we had multiple groups of orcas in the bay that hunted Pacific white-sided dolphin. We observed leaping, ramming, tail slapping, and other behaviors that were truly awe-inspiring."

Monterey Police Services Technician Gabe got his Covi-19 vaccination and helped bring the percentage of the population with at least one dose of vaccine in the County to over 50%! Let’s keep it going - #SleevesUpMonterey!

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has an informative page with recommendations for fully vaccinated people. For now, even for people vaccinated, masks are still important in certain settings.

Download the digital "I got my Covid-19 vaccine!" button at monterey.org/SleevesUp and share on social media! And please remember NOT to share your vaccination card - it has personal information you don't want shareable.
