STILL BUGS IN THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

by Bob Walsh


There was an unpublicized Covid vaccination for San Joaquin County residents at Robert Cabral Ag. Center this past weekend.  It was SUPPOSED TO BE for home health care workers and at-risk senior citizens.  In fact many people in non-priority groups showed up and were in fact vaccinated.  

It seems there was no pre-registration required and no meaningful screening of those that showed up.  The county health director, Dr. Maggie Park, said that in the future she wants to release vaccine only to events when there is a registration system in place and an appointment system so elderly or frail senior citizens are not waiting around for hours to get vaccinated.

The CA Supreme Leader, Gavin Newsom, recently decreed that now anybody over 65 is eligible for vaccination immediately.  Unfortunately he made no move to make the vaccine available, or to set up a registration or distribution system.
