The most common COVID-19 vaccine questions you re asking us are, when can I get vaccinated? and how can the general public access vaccines? We found answers:
The Bay Club Company, which has 23 locations across California, encouraged their employees of all ages to get vaccinated starting in January after the state released updated guidance, the ABC7 I-Team confirmed.
ABC7 received the following statement:
When the State of California implemented the Vaccine Tiers for priority in January 2021, we were pleased to see outdoor recreation was included in Health Care (Health Care/Public Health sector index 1, line item 22). As such, we shared that information with our employees so they could begin the process of receiving vaccinations, said Annie Appel, Senior Executive Vice President at the Bay Club Company.
With COVID Vaccine Restricted, Line Jumpers Sneak In By Debbie Koenig
Feb. 8, 2021 While federal guidelines say only certain segments of the population are the current priorities for COVID-19 vaccinations, many outside those groups are doing whatever they can to get shots of their own.
Right now, the CDC recommends that the COVID-19 vaccine go to people in three priority groups: essential workers, people over 65, and people 16-64 with underlying health conditions. All told, that’s more than 200 million people, but individual states are making their own decisions as to who gets priority.
As of Friday, 57.5 million doses of the vaccine have been delivered around the country, falling far short of demand. And while some Americans are volunteering to help in any way they can, the urge to jump the line is strong for many.
We re learning who is likely to be next when it comes to getting one of the coronavirus vaccines.
Healthcare workers in Tier 1A are currently getting the vaccine. In January we ll start seeing those from Tier 1B get the vaccine.
The Community Vaccine Advisory Committee is made up of dozens of people from California s health divisions.
That includes California Health and Human Services Agency and the California Department of Public Health. They recommend that four groups be next in line to get the COVID-19 vaccines.
Those include:
2. Emergency service workers including fire, police, and corrections officers
3. Food and AG workers including grocery store employees
