Vaccinations of high-risk health workers in L.A. County are in full swing, and officials expect to receive the first shipment of the Moderna vaccine next week.
Once that happens, workers and residents at skilled nursing facilities along with emergency medical technicians and paramedics will start getting the shots.
According to Dr. Muntu Davis, a public health officer for the county, the speed at which the vaccine can be administered to the wider public will depend on supplies. We expect in January, after the new year starts, that we should get weekly shipments, at least from Pfizer,” he said. “We anticipate it ll probably be the same for Moderna. But it really is the supply that s determining how fast we can get it out to other groups and the general public.
