NaphCare, the jail’s contract medical provider, began giving vaccinations to those inmates wishing to receive it. The vaccinations, which were the Johnson and Johnson single dose vaccinations, were provided by Mendocino County Public Health.

Extra nursing staff was brought in by NaphCare to give the injections. Correctional staff and jail nursing staff monitored the inmates and an ambulance crew from Medstar stood by in case there was an allergic reaction.
In all, 111 inmates and two staff members received the vaccinations.
