Measure S Continues Improving Neighborhoods

Not only is Measure S continuing to improve our neighborhood infrastructure - it's also providing free entertainment to local kids (pictured)!

Construction crews are working in the Monterey Vista neighborhood, improving a major artery for neighborhood residents, and students and staff at Monterey High School. Thank you for your patience with detours, parking restrictions and construction noise as we improve the area. Measure S was approved by 82% of voters in November, 2018 as a continuation of Measure P. It authorized a 1% local district tax (sales and use tax) to be used “to address significant deferred maintenance by fixing streets, sidewalks, and potholes; improve related access and safety for senior citizens, disabled residents, and others; and repair its 100-year-old storm drain system to protect our beaches/Monterey Bay.” Learn more about Measure S and P at monterey.org/fixingstreets.

Monterey County Weekly Vaccine Guide

The CDC and FDA are reviewing data involving six reported U.S. cases of a rare type of blood clot in individuals after receiving the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine. See full statement: https://bit.ly/3mJe0Ov

All six cases occurred among women between the ages of 18 and 48, and symptoms occurred 6 to 13 days after vaccination. Over 6.8 million doses of the vaccine have been administered to date in the United States, so the case number is very rare. The vaccine will be paused out of an abundance of caution. People who have upcoming vaccine appointments will be contacted by their vaccine service provider if there is a need to cancel or reschedule their appointment for vaccination. If you are not contacted, please attend the vaccination clinic at your scheduled appointment time. The Monterey County Health Department is not aware of any reports following vaccination with Johnson and Johnson COVID-19 vaccine among Monterey County residents.
