Here’s how California plans to distribute the COVID-19 vaccine in coming weeks [Los Angeles Times]
With U.S. approval expected this week for the first COVID-19 vaccine, California could soon begin its historic and complex rollout of millions of immunizations, a much-anticipated turning point in a state where over 20,000 people have been killed by the virus.
Though it is unclear exactly when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration will grant approval to the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, the move could come as soon as Thursday, Gov. Gavin Newsom said this week.
California’s first shipment of vaccines will include 327,000 doses supplying 327,000 people with their first dose and is expected to reach hospitals between Saturday and Tuesday, he said.
