By CBS San Francisco Staff: SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) — Gov. Gavin Newsom reassured East Bay residents Tuesday that a mass vaccination site at the Oakland Coliseum will remain open after federal officials end their participation on April 11. The site will be transitioning from a state-federal partnership to a regional partnership between the State of California, Alameda and Contra Costa counties. FEMA will remain involved, but will not longer providing supplies of vaccines. "Both sites will remain operational — both the Oakland, rather the Alameda County site, and the site at Cal State LA.," Newsom said at morning news conference. "The only change is that we are not going to get the direct allocation of vaccines from the federal government. That's the only change. Otherwise there will be no perceptible change to the public."
