The announcement comes on the same day that Dr. Paul Simon, science officer for the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (LADPH), confirmed that county health officials would continue to focus on administering second doses of the COVID-19 vaccine into the coming week.
“Right now, as more vaccine comes into L.A. County, our priority is to provide second doses to the people who are ready for them next week,” Simon told reporters Friday. “While the supply of doses, including first doses, are very limited at this time, it is our hope that we will see larger allocations in the near future.”
