All California adults can get COVID-19 vaccine next month
Starting April 15, all Californians 16 and older will be eligible for a shot. Here are the basics and info on getting your shot.
As part of that goal, state officials announced Thursday that providers will now have the discretion to vaccinate anyone who lives in the most deeply affected, socioeconomically disadvantaged areas. “We’re taking down barriers to access of the vaccine,” said California Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly.to nearly 5 million Californians with disabilities and underlying health conditions earlier this month. But for weeks, state and local officials have warned that supply would remain flat until late March or early April when vaccine allocation was expected to increase significantly. Until then, access to the vaccine has remained constrained in various parts of the state..
The decision to expand priority has been based on a variety of factors, including a surplus of doses due to vaccine hesitancy.
