Child care providers, many of whom have never stopped caring for children during the coronavirus pandemic, have been anxiously awaiting their turn for the COVID-19 vaccine. Starting March 1, they can sign up.
Child care workers who work or live in L.A. County, Orange County and Long Beach are now eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. However, with an uncertain supply, it s hard to say whether it will be days or weeks before they ll be able to sign up for appointments.
Many of L.A. s child care workers are part of a population more likely to contract COVID-19 - 65% of early educators are Latino.
Child care providers are next on the eligibility list to receive COVID-19 vaccines in Los Angeles County, Orange County and Pasadena. But there's still a lot of uncertainty about procedures.
