Coliseum Vaccination Site Opens with Capacity for 3,000 Shots Per Day

The Coliseum site, operated in partnership between the state’s Office of Emergency Services and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the Department of Defense, is part of the federal government’s effort to open 100 mass vaccination sites in President Joe Biden’s first 100 days in office.

The Oakland Coliseum coronavirus vaccination site opened Tuesday with the capacity to administer some 3,000 doses per day, according to state and federal officials.

State and federal officials also plan to deploy a pair of mobile vaccination clinics in addition to the Coliseum site. By the end of the week, the site will have the capacity to administer up to 6,000 doses per day.

Newsom, speaking Tuesday at the opening of a similar mass vaccination site in Los Angeles, said some 6.3 million vaccine doses have been administered in California to date.

“There are only seven jurisdictions in the world that have administered more doses of the vaccine than the state of California,” he said.

Newsom has argued repeatedly that the state’s vaccination effort would be even further along if the local public health departments and health care entities administering vaccines had more doses available.

The two-dose nature of the vaccines currently available from pharmaceutical company Pfizer and biotechnology company Moderna further hampers supply, Newsom and local health officials have reiterated.

A third vaccine developed by Johnson & Johnson, which requires only one dose, is expected to become available this spring.

For now, roughly 201,000 doses are being administered statewide per day, according to Newsom, who added that 1.28 million vaccine doses are expected to be delivered in the state this week, followed by 1.31 million doses next week.

“We’re building the infrastructure where the only constraint is supply,” Newsom said. “When the supply is ample, then we’re able to move aggressively and quickly.”

Registration for vaccinations at the Coliseum site can be made by eligible residents through the state’s MyTurn website, https://myturn.ca.gov, or by calling (833) 422-4255.

Seth Curry Makes Impressive Debut with the Golden State Warriors

Seth looked comfortable in his new uniform, seamlessly fitting into the Warriors’ offensive and defensive system. He finished the night with an impressive 14 points, becoming one of the team’s top scorers for the game. Seth’s points came in a variety of ways – floaters, spot-up three-pointers, mid-range jumpers, and a handful of aggressive drives that kept the Oklahoma City Thunder defense on its heels.

Tuesday night was anything but ordinary for fans in San Francisco as Seth Curry made his highly anticipated debut as a new member of the Golden State Warriors. Seth didn’t disappoint, delivering a performance that not only showcased his scoring ability but also demonstrated his added value to the team.

At 35, the 12-year NBA veteran on Monday signed a contract to play with the Warriors for the rest of the season.

One of the most memorable moments of the evening came before Seth even scored his first points. As he checked into the game, the Chase Center erupted into applause, with fans rising to their feet to give the newest Warrior a standing ovation.

The crowd’s reaction was a testament not only to Seth’s reputation as a sharpshooter but also to the excitement he brings to the Warriors. It was clear that fans quickly embraced Seth as one of their own, eager to see what he could bring to the team’s championship aspirations.

Warriors’ superstar Steph Curry – Seth’s brother – did not play due to an injury. One could only imagine what it would be like if the Curry brothers were on the court together. Magic in the making.

Seth’s debut proved to be a turning point for the Warriors. Not only did he contribute on the scoreboard, but he also brought a sense of confidence and composure to the floor.

While their loss last night, OKC 124 – GSW 112, Seth’s impact was a game-changer and there’s more yet to come. Beyond statistics, it was clear that Seth’s presence elevated the team’s performance, giving the Warriors a new force as they look to make a deep playoff run.
