Bay Area counties will be able to retain local control over coronavirus vaccine distribution under a new agreement with the state, ending weeks of bitter negotiations with Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration after it hired Blue Shield to oversee California’s vaccine supply.
Santa Clara County and the state on Wednesday signed a contract that will allow the county to continue giving vaccine supply to local community clinics and to continue using the county’s own appointment sign-up system rather than moving to the state’s My Turn program, which has been plagued by technical difficulties.
