COVID-19 Updates

Get Vaccinated When It’s Your Turn
Vaccination has helped humans fight infectious diseases for centuries. You can help put COVID-19 on the list of infectious diseases we have overcome by getting vaccinated when it’s your turn! Find out if you’re currently eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine, and book an appointment, by visiting www.sccFreeVax.org or calling 408.970.2000

No Wrong Door: Eligible Individuals Can Book Vaccine Appointments Anywhere
Santa Clara County’s No Wrong Door System is making access to vaccines as clear and as barrier free as possible. Healthcare providers, including the county health system, will vaccinate anyone eligible for the vaccine regardless of where they receive their medical care. For additional details, visit www.sccFreeVax.org

Continue Getting Tested
The County will hold another COVID-19 testing day in Saratoga on Thursday, April 8 at the Saratoga Prospect Center in Friendship Hall. Testing is free, open to the public, and includes a test for influenza. Appointments can now be scheduled online. This testing site is intended for people who do not have symptoms and have not been exposed to COVID-19.

If you are a frontline worker, get tested for COVID-19 at least once a month, up to every two weeks, even if you don’t have symptoms. Go to www.sccfreetest.org to find more testing options throughout the County.

Help! Where should over 1,700 housing units go in Saratoga?

We need your help to decide where to place over 1,700 housing units in Saratoga, and to determine what policies in the Housing Element will make that possible. Please visit www.saratoga.ca.us/housing to watch the video series we've created to share information about the Housing Element update process and ways you can participate. After watching the first four Housing Element videos, you can share any questions you still have or topics you would like covered in further detail using our online form. This will help us tailor upcoming community meetings to cover what you need. On the City's website, you can also find the community meeting schedule or request a small group meeting with your friends and neighbors. We look forward to working with you throughout this process!
