Health experts decry the chaotic rollout of the vaccine, but government says progress is on the way.

When a freezer malfunctioned, a small Ukiah hospital had to use or lose its Moderna COVID dosages quickly, becoming a case study in mass inoculation.

Lack of funding for planning was only part of the problem, said Dr. Ori Tzvieli, deputy health officer for Contra Costa County.“You need to know how much vaccine you are going to have,” Tzvieli said. “The lack of forecasting, of clear expectation of how much vaccine you are going to have, has made it hard to plan that well. That has been a frustrating factor, but I think it is getting a little bit better.

“All of that is unique to each pandemic,” Tzvieli said. Participating pharmacies had to obtain freezers and staff to start the vaccination process, and healthcare professionals like dentists had to be trained for the job, many of them through online courses.But Tzvieli said he remains “really optimistic” and believes all the residents in the county who want vaccines will have them by summer.

They are now allowing anyone 65+ to get the vaccine. They are opening large vaccination centers, like at Disneyland. Go get your vaccinations seniors.

Then, the citizens of California should RECALL the person responsible for this failure—GavinNewsom !
