Floodgates open: California expands vaccine eligibility for everyone 16 and older
While the proverbial floodgates of vaccine eligibility are open in California to everyone 16 and older, finding an appointment and a dose may be difficult.
LIVERMORE, Calif. - California health officials say they have updated the state s COVID vaccination scheduling website to help handle any surge in demand for appointments as eligibility expands to everyone 16-years-old and up Thursday.
All vaccinations will be done with Pfizer or Moderna doses which require two shots spaced three or four weeks apart. No Johnson and Johnson single doses will be administered, as a scientific advisory panel for the Centers for Disease Control met Wednesday and determined more research is needed to determine whether the six cases of rare blood clots after J & J vaccinations posed a wider danger.
