county residents. the majority of our residents are their patients, and we don't have full visibility into what they're doing. >> reporter: despite the struggle, county officials are moving forward with the expansion of multiple vaccination sites, building out the infrastructure in hopes the federal government will get its act together under a new administration. most residents will receive the vaccine from their primary care provider, but the county has already ramped up capacity to vaccinate over 6,000 people a day with plan tuesday do more once the vaccine supply becomes more stable. >> due the this limited and unp unpredictable supply we continue to limit. >> reporter: stanford health care has stepped up to help providing mutual aid by accepting more than 500 transfers in the past two months alone. as people anxiously await their turn for the vaccine medical providers are once again reminding the public about ways to prevent the spread of covid-19. >> we know how you can protect
