Los Angeles County is expecting to receive its first shipment of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine in the next few days, after an FDA advisory panel gave the drug a green-light Thursday. The very first vaccines could begin as soon as next week.
The first shipment to L.A. County will include about 83,000 doses, followed up by nearly half a million more that should arrive by the last week of December. At the statewide level, California hospitals could receive 327,000 doses of the first COVID-19 vaccine between Saturday and Tuesday.
