SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - Some local physicians have expressed frustration over trying to volunteer to administer the COVID-19 vaccine but claim to have been met with red tape. It was actually getting ridiculous, said San Diego physician and former California Medical Association president Dr. Ted Mazer. God bless [county representatives]. They re trying. I m not trying to say anything negative about them but they just don t have their act together. There were so many hurdles and so many levels to get through and so many documents . [it was] as though I was applying to a hospital for privileges.
