BART is working with @fema and @Cal_OES, who is operating the vaccination efforts at the Coliseum site.

They have staff ready to assist for those driving through the site in their car — or using public transit to get to the site. – bei BART to OAK Coliseum Station

Coliseum vaccination site is also connected to Coliseum BART station via a free @rideact shuttle. It runs from 8am-7:30pm, 7 days a week.

While number of riders who took BART to the Coliseum vaccination site today (the first day) was a bit low, staff on the ground expects more people getting vaccinated to take advantage of transit as the word gets out.
