Gov. Gavin Newsom received his coronavirus vaccine Thursday to promote the expansion of eligibility to all Californians 50 and older.
“Today’s an important day, obviously, with the opportunity now for people my age, who have been waiting,” Newsom, 53, said during a visit to the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Mobile Vaccination Clinic in Los Angeles County.
As Dr. Mark Ghaly, California’s secretary of health and human services, administered the single-dose Johnson & Johnson shot, Newsom promoted the ease of the “one and done” option.
