COVID-19 Vaccines Coming to OC
|
|
The COVID-19 vaccine is pivotal in our efforts to defeat this pandemic. Healthcare professionals, being on the frontline caring for the sick, will receive the first round of the vaccines. Further distribution, as directed by the State, will be by priorities based on risk, role, and equity. We will also work with local hospitals and clinics to distribute the vaccines to the general public. For more information, please visit CovidVaccineFacts.com.
