California counties don t want COVID-19 vaccine efforts run by Blue Shield Melody Gutierrez © Provided by The LA Times A motorist waits to be vaccinated by a health worker at the Forum, one of several mass COVID-19 vaccination sites in Los Angeles County. (Al Seib / Los Angeles Times) Counties across California are increasingly pushing back against the state’s new vaccination program run by Blue Shield of California, with Los Angeles County officials the latest to ask for the ability to opt out amid a bipartisan chorus of concern. Further complicating the rollout of the state’s new venture with the insurance giant is a lack of buy-in from counties, with none of California’s 58 counties having signed the Blue Shield contract yet, according to representatives of urban and rural county advocacy groups and local government leaders. Despite that, the state began to move ahead with the changes Monday beginning in 10 counties.
