California to give 40% of vaccine doses to vulnerable areas
Read full article: California to give 40% of vaccine doses to vulnerable areas(AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes, File)SACRAMENTO, Calif. โ California will begin setting aside 40% of all vaccine doses for the stateโs most vulnerable neighborhoods in an effort to inoculate people most at risk from the coronavirus and get the stateโs economy open more quickly. The doses will be spread out among 400 ZIP codes with about 8 million people eligible for shots. The areas are considered most vulnerable based on metrics such as household income, education level, housing status and access to transportation. Once the state gives out 4 million doses in those neighborhoods, it will revise the metrics for getting into the even less restrictive orange and yellow tiers. Yet community health clinics focused on serving low-income and vulnerable Californians say they haven't been getting enough doses.
