A drive-through vaccination site opened at the Larkspur Ferry Terminal and as of the first week of opening was able to provide 200 shots per day — it will offer up to 1,500 doses per day, eventually. The County partnered with Curative, a company that offers on-the-go testing, vaccinations, and other essential health services, and the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District to open the location. As of now, appointments are required and are limited to Marin residents age 65 and older. The Bridge District operates the ferry terminal and is allowing use of the property for free, and Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART) is also letting Marin residents take free train rides to the Larkspur station for vaccine appointments. Riders will just have to mention that they are going to the vaccination site when asked for payment. Vaccine shortages only provide a few thousand doses per week, but as of print date Marin ranked second among medium and large California counties in terms of distribution.
