COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution Information
Due to limited vaccine supply, healthcare systems in our County are offering vaccination only to people age 75 and older at this time. The County does not determine vaccine eligibility. Following the State’s priority phases and tiers, each healthcare system decides what categories of patients they have the capacity to vaccinate at any given time.
Read more about vaccine distribution here.
This dashboard provides a summary of all COVID-19 vaccine types received and administered by vaccine providers located in Santa Clara County, as well as the number of vaccine appointments scheduled in the next 7-days. For more information about COVID-19 vaccinations in Santa Clara County please visit here.

COVID-19 Testing
The City of San José and County of Santa Clara have facilitated a new drive-through COVID-19 testing site in East San José in collaboration with Verily’s Baseline COVID-19 Program. Santa Clara County residents can use the Baseline COVID-19 Program online screener and appointment scheduling system at www.projectbaseline.com/COVID19 to screen their symptoms and, if eligible, make an appointment for testing.

Housing Resources
Eviction Moratorium: The eviction moratorium is intended to increase housing stability and minimize homelessness for people facing sudden, unexpected financial hardship. The moratorium stops residential evictions for nonpayment of rent due to impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak. Tenants can document their reduced income by filling out this form and providing it to their landlords. When the moratorium ends, landlords will be able to seek unpaid rent - i.e., past due rent that was not paid during the moratorium - from their tenants.
Meals
County residents in quarantine or isolation, as well as older adults and persons with disabilities or health conditions, who have minimal support and need 14 frozen/meals delivered on a weekly basis, can call 408-961-9870 or email the Meals on Wheels program at MOW@healthtrust.org.
