b'January 15, 2021 \\u2014 Local community clinics have started vaccinations this week, and are reaching out to the elderly and people whose jobs put them at greater risk of exposure. \\n\\nLucresha Renteria, the director of the Mendocino Coast Clinics, worked to get vaccines for today\\u2019s vaccination at Fort Bragg high school. Next week, she plans to put together lists of veterinarians, dental workers, and food and ag workers. And she\\u2019s weighing the possibility of doing a mass vaccination off-site, especially since there are about 800 elderly patients who have been to the clinic since January of 2018. For now, she\\u2019s reaching out to employers and going over the patient rolls.\\n\\nLeah Collins, a doctor at Anderson Valley Health Center, is asking anyone in the valley who want a vaccine to fill out a survey at the Anderson Valley Health Center\\u2019s facebook page or website, so the clinic can contact people when they become eligible. You can also call the clinic at 895-3477.'
