The San Benito County’s Health Department is investigating the San Benito Health Foundation. There have been allegations that the foundation was giving coronavirus vaccines to ineligible people.
Victoria Montoya, the San Benito Foundation secretary, told reporters that the real story is that the San Benito Health Department is not prepared.
“This county is behind,” said Secretary Montoya. “They don’t have enough staff to do the job where the clinic has all that’s needed and has been doing the right thing.”
She said the rotary members who were vaccinated were people who’ve helped distribute food.
It is not clear how many of the volunteers who received a vaccine were over the age of 65. The San Benito Health Foundation is currently under investigation for allegations of not following the California vaccine distribution plan.
