FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) Eligibility for the COVID-19 vaccine expanded across the state Monday, allowing more people to get their COVID-19 shot. Getting him vaccinated was something that was important to me and my family, said Rudy Cruz. He visited a vaccination clinic in Northeast Fresno Monday to get Richard, his 26-year-old son with autism, vaccinated. Today was the first day in the tier that we were able to get him vaccinated, so we wanted to come on down and make sure we re doing our part, Cruz said.
