Santa Clara County will close its mass COVID-19 vaccination and testing sites by the end of the month as they are no longer essential to the county’s pandemic response, county officials said.
Many of the county's smaller testing sites are also expected to close in the coming weeks. According to county officials, the Santa Clara County Health System has provided some 1.6 million PCR tests since May 2020.
The county and the San Francisco 49ers, the team that plays its home games at the stadium, closed testing and vaccination services in the summer of 2021. The county still plans to provide COVID vaccination, testing and other health care services to the more than 225,000 residents whose main health care provider is the county's health system.
