The City of South Lake Tahoe is partnering with El Dorado County to host a second vaccine clinic on April 18th and 19th from 10:00 AM - 4:30 PM. The clinic will take place at the South Tahoe Rec Center at 1180 Rufus Allen Blvd.
The vaccinations are open for eligible populations. For El Dorado County, this includes eligible populations in all of Phase 1A, Phase 1B, Phase 1C. As of April 15th, this will include populations 16 and older. The vaccine offered will be Moderna. To find out if you’re eligible go to covid19.ca.gov.

Rufus Allen Blvd. will be closed to thru traffic from Pickett to Lyons while the clinic is happening. Eligible people with an appointment need to come to the clinic through Lyons Ave.
 As of April 15th, all Californians age 16 and up are eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Californians should make a plan to get vaccinated and use My Turn to schedule appointments. My Turn is available in 14 languages and those without internet or email access can call 1-833-422-4255 for help, which includes an extensive support center with the ability to help in more than 250 languages.
Out of an abundance of caution, on April 13, the CDC and FDA recommended a temporary pause in the use of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine. Of more than 7.2 million doses administered nationally, there have been six reported cases of a rare and severe type of blood clot with symptoms occurring 6 to 13 days after vaccination. In these cases, a type of blood clot called cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) was seen in combination with low levels of blood platelets (thrombocytopenia). All six cases occurred among women between the ages of 18 and 48. More about California’s response can be found here.
As we are all gearing up for another great Tahoe summer, it seems that mother nature has other plans. This week the Tahoe Basin was surprised with up to 12 inches of snow in some places. Even with ski resorts closing soon, this latest storm provided a few more days of good turns and spring skiing.
