In case you missed it, the state of California is now allowing those 65 and older to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
In Los Angeles County, health officials at first said they weren't ready to immunize people in that age group until February at the earliest...becuase there were simply not enough vacinne doses. That changed a week later.
Caveat: there are still not enough vaccine doses.
Meanwhile, Long Beach, as well as Orange, San Bernardino, and Riverside counties are moving forward with the 65+ age group — but not without hurdles.
Of course, none of this is simple. It never is. We're dealing with many layers of bureaucracy in addition to under-resourced, burnt-out public health departments — public agencies that are also tasked with managing the winter case surge.
