Teachers, Police, and Food Service Workers Could Be Next to Get COVID Vaccine in California
A committee tasked with recommending who will be in the Tier 1-B group for COVID vaccinations in California, and they met Wednesday to begin finalizing those recommendation.
The Community Vaccine Advisory Committee is made up of dozens of representatives from organizations around the state, including the California School Boards Association, the California State Parent Teachers Association, and the California Professional Firefighters, to name a few. As ABC 7 reports, the list of who will come next in line for the Pfizer and Moderna COVID vaccines is likely to have teachers and child-care workers near the top of it. Also in Tier 1-B, per the committee s current recommendations, will be police and firefighters, corrections officers, food and agriculture workers, grocery store employees, and all individuals age 75 and up.
