Apr. 27 The leader of University of California Health reported Monday that a UC team of patient-care and support personnel now has administered more than 1 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccines, rapidly moving from immunizing their own staff to serving people around the state. We ve been in a race between the spread of the virus and the pace of vaccination since the moment the first shipment of vaccine arrived in mid-December. Our goal was and is clear get shots into the arms of Californians as quickly as possible, beginning with those at the highest risk of exposure and serious illness, said Dr. Carrie L. Byington, an infectious disease expert and executive vice president of UCH. The million-shot milestone is symbolically meaningful and an event to celebrate with all of our employees, students, and trainees. Ther
