Long Beach resident Jennifer Hill was excited last week to see that, as an educator, she would be eligible to get the COVID-19 vaccine soon, but when she emailed the city asking for more details and specifying that she is under the age of 65, she was surprised to get appointment registration links in response. - ADVERTISEMENT - “I was all excited and I clicked the link and made an appointment,” for Jan. 20, said Hill, who works at Compton College. But then she saw on the city’s VaxLB website that educators under the age of 65 aren’t supposed to start getting inoculated until Jan. 25. She spent Tuesday calling and emailing the city’s vaccine hotline, but it was still set to a holiday response. Hill was left contemplating whether to just cancel her appointment.
