Feb. 18 More than nine weeks into the mass vaccination campaign to combat the coronavirus pandemic, California has seen gradual but at times unsteady improvement in its rollout. And now the weather could be hampering the effort.
The California Department of Public Health on its vaccine tracker reported Thursday providers have administered 6,699,137 of the 8.7 million doses distributed to hospital systems and health offices, a daily increase of 263,953 doses. From Tuesday to Wednesday, the state reported administering about 174,000 doses.
Nearly 264,000 doses represents the largest single-day increase reported yet by CDPH.

How Kaiser members can get COVID vaccine, and why some older patients may have to wait [The Sacramento Bee]
Feb. 9 Short vaccine supplies are stalling Kaiser Permanente’s efforts to vaccinate its 65-and-older members against COVID-19, say officials at the health system.
Kaiser is now vaccinating its members 75 and older after starting with the health care workers and the long term care staffers and patients who made up the state’s Phase 1A category.
