To simplify vaccine rollout, California considers an age-based system [San Francisco Chronicle]
Jan. 23 In an effort to simplify and speed up California’s troubled coronavirus vaccination rollout, state health officials are considering shifting to a priority system primarily based on age a move that could preserve access for residents 65 and older, but bump down access for some younger essential workers.
The state’s possible move comes amid a backdrop of falling infections. San Francisco Mayor London Breed said Thursday on Twitter that the city “could start reopening soon,” because its transmission rate had dipped to the point where each person with COVID-19 passes it on to less than one person, on average.
