Good
morning,
everyone,
thank
you
all
so
much
for
being
here
today.
I
want
to
start
by
welcoming
our
governor
gavin
newsom
here
to
san
diego
governor,
we're
always
thrilled
to
have
you
in
america's
finest
city.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
tremendous
leadership
throughout
this
pandemic
and
for
highlighting
the
great
work
that
we're
doing
here
on
our
successful
vaccination.
B
B
It
hasn't
been
easy,
but
for
him,
and
for
all
of
us,
including
the
legislature,
have
worked
day
and
night
for
a
year
straight
to
keep
us
safe
and
to
get
our
economy
that
going
he's
consistently
done
the
right
thing
to
protect
public
health.
Even
when
it's
been
hard,
the
state's
support
for
this
superstation
has
been
critical.
B
It
could
not
have
been
possible
without
the
partnership
of
the
state
of
california,
the
county
of
san,
diego
ucsd
health
and
our
home
team.
The
san
diego
padres
san
diego,
was
happy
to
host
our
region's
first
superstation
on
city
property,
and
I
want
to
thank
all
of
the
dedicated
city
personnel
who
have
made
that
station
also
a
success.
Everyone
from
our
public
safety
personnel,
particularly
our
paramedics,
who
are
helping
to
vaccinate
as
well
as
our
city
staff
and
many
of
our
police
officers
who
are
helping
to
manage
traffic
in
the
area.
B
I
want
to
offer
my
special
thanks
to
every
city
staff
member
and
volunteer,
who
did
not
hesitate
to
give
their
time
to
step
up
to
help
vaccinate
thousands
of
san
diegans
every
day
since
this
facility
opened
over
a
month
ago.
Whether
that's
here
at
the
superstation
in
petco
park
or
the
municipal
gym
in
balboa
park,
where
we
opened
a
vaccination
center
just
a
few
days
ago
or
any
of
the
future
sites
that
are
coming
governor,
you'd,
be
happy
to
see
city
employees
eagerly
being
a
part
of
the
solution.
B
Hearing
your
call
for
folks
to
step
up
and
to
serve
in
this
time
of
need.
The
city
of
san
diego
is
working
in
close
collaboration
with
the
state
of
california
and
our
county
partners
to
make
sure
that
our
vaccination
efforts
grow
and
that
everyone
who
is
eligible
can
get
a
shot
as
soon
as
they
as
possible.
B
Having
been
approved
to
receive
direct
vaccinations
shipments,
we
have
embarked
on
our
own
independence
site,
as
I
mentioned
at
the
municipal
municipal
gym
in
balboa
park
before
supply
becomes
available.
We
are
poised
to
expand
our
efforts
targeting
those
communities
who
are
hardest
hit
by
the
pandemic,
with
our
focus
as
always
on
equity.
B
As
mayor,
I've
prioritized
our
back
to
work
sd
recovery
plan,
recognizing
that
we
must
plan
for
an
economic
recovery
as
we
get
through
this
final
phase
of
the
pandemic,
we're
working
with
small
business
owners
and
health
care
experts
on
how
we
can
build
back
better
in
ways
that
keep
everyone
safe.
We
want
to
acknowledge
that
we
cannot
fully
recover
until
our
schools
are
open,
which
is
why
a
core
component
of
our
back
to
work
sd
plan
is
taking
a
school's
first
approach.
B
I've
never
seen
this
kind
of
collaboration
and
cooperation
toward
a
common
goal,
as
I
have
in
this
particular
effort,
and
the
lessons
that
we
have
learned
from
this
experience
will
pay
dividends
for
years
to
come.
I'm
grateful
to
everyone.
Everyone
is
assembled
here
and
everyone
who's
across
the
street
vaccinating
folks
as
we
speak,
who
has
chipped
in
their
expertise
to
get
us
through
this
emergency.
B
I
want
to
end
with
this
most
important
message
of
all
to
the
californians,
and
particularly
the
san
diegans,
who
are
listening
when
it
is
your
turn
to
get
vaccinated.
Please
do
so
as
soon
as
possible.
It
is
safe
and
it
is
effective
and
it's
the
quickest
way
out
of
this
public
health
and
economic
crisis.
B
C
C
C
This
would
not
have
been
possible
without
an
unprecedented
and
excellent
level
of
collaboration
with
our
partners,
the
state
county
city
and
uc
san
diego
health.
The
padres
are
proud
and
honored
to
play
a
role
in
helping
to
make
this
possible
and
successful.
Vaccinating
san
diegans
and
every
californian
will
move
us
past
this
pandemic
and
save
lives.
C
D
D
Thank
you
for
your
commitment
to
protecting
the
public's
health.
As
we
manage
our
way
through
this
pandemic,
everyone
is
working
overtime,
working
hard
and
quickly
to
stop
covet
19..
This
includes
our
board
of
supervisors,
our
county
of
san,
diego
employees
and
the
health
and
human
services
agency,
led
by
our
director
nick
machine.
D
The
public-private
partnership
behind
the
petco
superstation
is
especially
amazing
within
days
of
hearing
about
this
idea
from
chair
fletcher,
an
opening
event
was
held.
This
would
not
have
happened
without
the
commitment
of
the
following
partners
with
the
county.
This
includes
uc
san,
diego
health
and
its
ceo,
patty
mason,
the
san
diego
padres
and
their
teen
president
eric
rootner
and
the
city
of
san,
diego
and
mayor
todd.
Gloria
each
and
every
partner
was
and
remains
critical
since
patco
opened
as
the
region's
first
stupa
station.
D
A
fifth
coastal
superstation
is
in
the
works
with
scripps
health
at
the
fairgrounds,
the
state
fairgrounds
for
del
mar
in
the
north
coastal
region.
We
have
lots
of
work
ahead
of
us
to
meet
the
vaccine
needs
in
our
entire
county.
We
cannot
do
this
without
support
from
the
state
as
well
as
more
vaccine
governor
newsom.
I
want
to
thank
you
again
for
taking
the
time
to
be
here
in
san
diego
county
today.
Thank
you
immensely
now,
please
welcome
to
the
podium
our
county,
chair
of
the
board
of
supervisors,
chair
nathan,
fletcher.
E
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
dr
wooten.
Dr
root
in
san
diego
appreciate
your
voice
throughout
this
pandemic
and
as
someone
who
has
had
the
pleasure
to
work
with
you
every
single
day
for
a
year,
I
appreciate
your
hard
work
and
commitment
mayor
gloria.
It
is
truly
wonderful
to
now
have
a
mayor
committed
to
doing
the
difficult
work
to
partner
with
the
county
and
with
the
state
and
confronting
covet
governor
san
diego
appreciates
you,
and
we
welcome
you
and
eric
and
peter
and
the
padres
we
beat
la
in
setting
the
superstation
up.
E
We
are
meeting
la
and
administration
of
vaccines.
We
have
set
the
stage
for
the
expectation
for
the
coming
season
and
we
all
joking
well
we're
not
joking.
We
really
do
want
to
be
at
the
dodgers,
but
you
know
governor,
you
told
counties
to
get
vaccines
and
arms.
You
gave
us
a
clear
direction.
You
told
us
to
do
it
fast
and
we
heard
you
and
we
responded
today
in
san
diego
county,
we
surpassed
half
a
million
vaccines
administered.
E
E
We
appreciate
your
focus
and
your
effort
on
trying
to
get
our
kids
safely
back
in
school
and
governor.
Those
of
us
that
have
dealt
with
this
every
single
day
appreciate
how
you've
led
us
through
a
long
and
difficult
year.
A
year
that
has
challenged
us
a
year
that
has
tested
us
a
year
that
has
divided
us
a
year
that
has
required
difficult
and
unprecedented
action
to
meet
a
situation,
the
likes
of
which
we
have
not
seen
in
over
100
years.
E
Governor
you've
had
an
impossible
job.
You
faced
more
challenges,
truly
impossible
decisions,
often
having
to
choose
between
a
bad
option
and
a
worse
option,
but
throughout
it
all.
You
never
gave
up,
and
I
want
the
people
of
san
diego
to
know
that
you've
been
there
for
us.
You've
been
there
at
all
hours
of
the
day
and
night.
E
You
never
stop
fighting
for
california
and
make
no
mistake,
we're
still
in
the
fight
against
covet,
but
with
cases
down
and
vaccinations
up.
We
are
cautiously
optimistic
that
we're
turning
a
corner
and
the
better
days
are
ahead
governor
we're
thrilled
to
have
you
join
us
here
in
san
diego.
We
appreciate
everything
you've
done
for
the
last
year.
Please
join
me
in
welcoming
the
governor
of
california.
F
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
Thank
you
supervisor.
Thank
you
all
of
you
for
the
privilege
of
this
opportunity
and
let
me
just
pick
up
supervisor
fletcher
on
what
you
just
said.
Regarding
the
cases
and
vaccines,
I
want
to
quickly
update
you
on
where
we
are
in
this
pandemic,
and
then
I
want
to
congratulate
each
and
every
one
of
you
for
the
privilege
of
not
only
being
here
today,
but
the
opportunity
to
highlight
and
showcase
this
first
in
the
state
of
california
mass
vaccination
site.
Let's
begin
with
an
update
on
the
numbers.
F
F
So
everything
that
should
be
up
is
up
and
I'll
get
to
vaccines.
In
a
moment,
everything
that
should
be
down
is
down,
as
it
relates
to
taxes,
counts,
positivity
rates,
people
being
hospitalized
people
in
our
icus.
That
is
encouraging
news.
Indeed,
the
vaccinations.
However,
we
can't
move
fast
enough.
We
are
sober
and
mindful
of
the
scarcity,
that
is
the
number
of
available
vaccines
in
the
united
states
of
america.
Nonetheless,
we
are
not
naive
about
our
responsibility
here
in
the
state
of
california
to
move
these
vaccines
out
of
the
freezers
and
into
people's
arms.
F
F
Yesterday
we
reported
197
000
vaccines,
administered
roughly
200
000.,
that's
double
where
we
were
just
a
few
weeks
ago,
triple
where
we
were
a
month
or
so
ago,
so
we're
making
progress,
we're
improving
the
rate
of
administration
day
in
and
day
out,
but
we
can't
do
that
at
the
state
level
without
partners
at
the
local
level.
So
let
me
let
me
focus
now
on
why
I
came
here
to
san
diego
and
that
was
to
acknowledge
leadership.
Demonstrable
leadership,
leadership
that
now
is
truly
leading
the
state
of
california.
F
San
diego,
the
first
county
first
city,
to
put
a
site
together
like
this
success,
leaves
clues.
You've
inspired
others
all
throughout
the
state
of
california,
including
the
la
dodgers,
including
folks
in
northern
california,
levi's
stadium
in
santa
clara,
with
the
49ers
play
they'll,
be
opening
their
mass
vaccination
site
tomorrow,
cal
expo
and
a
number
of
state
fairgrounds
have
now
done
the
same.
This
is
not
exclusive,
meaning
max
nation
sites
are
not
all
mass
sites.
F
Still
the
vast
majority
of
the
network
that
you
are
very
familiar
with
when
you
get
your
annual
flu
shot,
that's
the
backbone
of
our
vaccination
distribution,
but
nonetheless,
these
sites
are
important
and
impactful,
certainly
here
in
san
diego,
as
was
highlighted
by
the
mayor
and
others,
that
a
third
now
of
the
vaccines
in
this
county
have
been
ministered.
Just
here
at
this
site
gives
you
an
example
of
the
potency
and
power
of
scale
in
terms
of
the
efficient
distribution
and
administration
of
the
vaccine.
Of
course,
we
talk
about
efficiency.
F
We
talk
about
throughput,
but
we
also
dr
wilma.
I
appreciate
you
mentioning
this
wooten.
Thank
you
for
acknowledging
the
issue
of
equity.
As
always,
that's
part
of
the
three-legged
stool,
not
only
we
want
fast
and
efficient,
but
we
want
equitable
distribution
of
the
vaccines
and
we
recognize
we
have
more
work
to
do
in
that
space.
More
work
to
do
to
make
sure
we're
truly
representative,
not
only
as
it
relates
to
people
that
can
access
a
vehicle
to
access
sites
like
this
or
access
mass
transit,
to
access
a
site
like
this.
F
But
to
make
sure
we
go
where
people
are,
many
people
simply
can't
get
to
a
large
vaccination
site
like
this,
and
so
just
last
week
we
invested
in
over
110
community-based
organizations,
tens
of
millions
of
dollars
to
invest
in
a
framework
of
focusing
on
equity
community
outreach
reaching
with
trusted
messengers
to
encourage
people
that
may
be
hesitant
about
the
administration.
We're
seeing
an
administration,
the
vaccine,
encouraging
them
to
take
advantage
of
not
only
sites
like
this
but
other
sites
in
their
community.
F
We
partnered
last
week
in
the
equity
lens
with
the
biden
administration,
the
first
state
in
the
united
states
to
invest
a
partnership
with
fema,
our
federal
partners,
the
office
of
emergency
services,
the
bud
administration.
We
announced
where
the
open
a's
play
their
games
in
northern
california
and
alameda
county
the
first
site,
we're
also
expanding
that
to
cal
state
l.a
and
we'll
be
announcing
in
the
next
number
of
days,
a
new
site
in
the
central
valley
as
well.
That
framework
is
exclusively
targeted
at
equity.
F
It's
a
partnership
with
the
federal
government
that
does
not
take
away
from
existing
allocations
of
vaccines
and
is
additive
to
our
collective
efforts.
We'll
continue
to
do
more
and
we
recognize
we
have
work
to
do
to
be
better
in
terms
of
making
sure
these
remaining
surplus
vaccines
that
are
still
in
freezers
all
across
the
state
are
quickly
and
efficiently
administered,
and
that's
why
I
like
this
competition
of
sorts.
F
I
appreciate
chair
fletcher,
framing
this
in
an
enlightened
sense,
not
a
race
to
the
bottom,
a
race
to
the
top
more
transparency,
more
accountability
county
by
county
san,
diego
leading
the
way
mayor.
You
should
be
proud
supervisor
argus.
You
should
be
proud,
chair
fletcher!
You
should
certainly
be
very,
very
proud
of
that
demonstrable
leadership.
We
want
to
encourage
the
same
in
every
county
in
the
state.
Some
candidly
are
way
behind.
F
Some
are
not
where
they
need
to
be,
and
we
need
to
call
that
out.
We
need
to
provide
support,
no
cheap
shots,
but
we
also
need
to
provide
a
sense
of
urgency
that
the
public
deserves
and
back
that
up
by
reallocating
supply.
I'll
give
you
an
example.
Just
last
week
we
reallocated
close
to
a
hundred
thousand
doses
that
were
in
the
hand
of
one
of
our
largest
pharmacies.
F
Here
in
the
state
of
california,
we
were
able
to
quickly
and
efficiently
and
effectively
move
those
doses
out,
because,
frankly,
they
were
sitting
on
those
doses,
we're
going
through
every
provider,
every
single
system
and
making
sure,
when
they're
days
or
weeks,
with
a
vaccine
in
the
freezer
or
refrigerator
that
we're
moving
those
out
and
getting
them
into
people's
arms
and
getting
out
to
the
diverse
communities
all
across
the
state.
On
genomics,
let
me
just
quickly
update
y'all
close
here
in
a
moment
and
of
course
answer
any
questions.
F
I
want
to
just
update
folks
on
some
of
the
genomics
testing
well
deserve
well
recognized
here
in
san
diego
leading
research
leading
cutting-edge
research
in
genomics
happening
in
and
around
this
community.
Mr
mayor,
you
should
be
very
proud
of
this
because
of
san
diego's
leadership.
We've
been
able
to
provide
at
least
the
sequencing
for
over
12
200
genomes
and
we've
been
able
to
identify
153
uk
variants.
153
cases
of
the
uk
variant
are
here
in
the
state
of
california.
Now
san
diegans,
you
understand
this
well.
F
138
of
them
have
been
identified
here
in
san
diego
five
counties.
Currently,
however,
we
have
six
additional
cases
in
addition
to
153
that
we're
making
a
determination
of
whether
or
not
they
are
indeed
a
uk
variant.
If
that's
the
case,
we
have
two
additional
counties:
total
of
seven
that
likely
the
uk
variant
has
spread
no
brazilian
variants,
yet
no
south
african
variants.
Yet
we
do,
however,
have
a
west
coast
variant,
two
versions:
oreo
1429
1427,
either
here
nor
there
1203
of
the
west
coast
variants,
have
been
identified.
F
So
no
no
new
variants
identified
again
from
brazil
or
south
africa,
153
from
the
uk
west
coast
a
little
over
1200
briefly.
I
know
many
of
you
want
to
know
who
is
getting
these
vaccines?
They
want
to
know
the
demographics.
We
talk
in
terms
of
equity,
who's
actually
receiving
the
vaccines.
We've
been
working
with
the
counties,
san
diego.
Thank
you
supervisor.
F
All
of
you
have
been
leading
the
way
in
terms
of
providing
that
access.
You
have
a
dashboard.
That's
out.
Not
every
county,
however,
is
doing
that.
So
we've
been
working
with
the
county
local
health
officers.
For
the
last
few
weeks
and
dr
galley
assures
me
later
this
week,
we
will
put
out
our
preliminary
results
as
it
relates
to
the
demographics
and
the
administration,
the
vaccine.
F
Another
thing
we
want
to
update
you
on
is
this
third
party
agreement
we'll
be
moving,
and
we
are
on
schedule
for
february
15th
to
move
forward
with
our
third
party
administration,
the
partnership
at
cost
with
two
partners
that
are
well
known
here
in
the
state
of
california,
blue
shield
and
kaiser
that
contract
a
little
bit
make
public
when
it's
finalized.
We
anticipate
that
happening
later
this
week
and
we
anticipate
moving
forward,
as
I
noted
in
exactly
a
week
this
time
next
week
on
february.
F
Last
week
we
received
just
over
1
million
banks,
vaccine
doses,
about
1
million
60
000.
594.
000
of
them
were
first
doses,
just
594
000
in
a
state
of
40
million
new
doses
came
into
the
state
from
the
federal
government.
Simply
not
enough.
Everybody
recognized
that
the
president
on
down
next
week,
meaning
this
week
by
the
end
of
this
week,
roughly
the
same
number
of
doses,
are
anticipated
to
have
a
rise
slightly
higher
by
a
few
thousand
next
week.
F
We
anticipate
another
hundred
plus
thousand,
in
addition
to
what
we've
received
in
the
last
few
weeks,
so
all
told
that
over
a
million
million
one
million
two
hundred
thousand
doses
coming
into
the
state,
we
need
to
see
that
ramped
up
we're
going
to
need
to
see
more
doses
coming
in
to
the
state
of
california.
In
order
to
keep
these
max
sites
operational
and
to
keep
things
moving.
F
As
chair
fletcher
told
me
a
moment
ago,
you
can
double
the
output
here
just
at
petco
if
they
had
more
certainty
of
supply
and
again
the
state's
not
holding
any.
We
are
the
intermediary
in
terms
of
the
distribution.
There's,
none
in
any
state
supplies
the
state
doesn't
receive
vaccines.
These
vaccines
go
directly
through
a
provider
network,
they
go
through
the
counties
and
we
are
encouraging
every
day
working,
very
collaboratively,
encouraging
by
an
administration.
Do
everything
in
their
power
not
only
to
accelerate
the
distribution
of
pfizer
and
moderna
vaccines,
but
encouraging?
F
F
That's
not
early
enough,
and
we
all
recognize
that
so
we're
doing
everything
our
power
to
draw
down
more
federal
support
state
moving
to
address
all
the
barriers
we
possibly
can
in
terms
of
the
application
and
distribution
administration
of
these
vaccines,
and
I'm
here
just
success
celebrating
success
and
humbly.
Thank
you.
F
G
Hello
governor,
my
name,
is
paul
sisson,
I'm
a
reporter
with
the
san
diego
union
tribune
here
in
san
diego
I'm
at
the
narrow
end
of
the
funnel
today.
In
terms
of
all
the
media
questions
that
have
come
in
over
emails,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
ask
them
out
one.
At
a
time
we've
received
quite
a
few
about
vaccination
of
police
officers
and
teachers.
Lots
of
folks
want
to
know
what
the
state
might
be
doing
to
accelerate
or
bring
in
that
group
of
workers
who
find
themselves.
F
Those
cohorts
are
in
our
tier
status;
it
provides
flexibility
again.
Flexibility
is
challenging
when
there's
scarcity
and
I'm
mindful
of
that
in
terms
of
the
prioritization
of
tiers
75
and
over
65
and
over
frontline
healthcare
workers,
considering
the
frame
always
vaccinating
the
vaccinators
as
our
top
priority
in
that
frame
in
those
tiers.
We
also
have
teachers
and
we
have
members
of
law
enforcement
where
there
is
flexibility.
The
challenge
is
self-evident.
F
In
each
and
every
county
they
have
different
capacity
issues,
different
demographics,
different
issues
in
terms
of
availability
of
the
vaccine
and
the
number
of
people
that
they
have
prioritized
within
those
tiers,
but
the
state
as
a
statewide
framework
has
provided
guidelines
so
that
we
can
address
that
and
allow
for
local
decisions
to
be
made.
That
said,
we
are
working
as
we
speak
throughout
this
weekend,
including
super
bowl
sunday,
working
with
the
legislature
have
been
for
weeks
and
weeks
now
to
try
to
get
our
schools
safely
open
in
the
state
of
california.
F
It
is
my
desire
to
get
our
schools
safely
open
as
quickly
as
we
can
safely
open
as
quickly
as
we
can,
particularly
for
our
young
children,
particularly
children
with
special
needs,
foster
homeless,
youth,
kids
that
don't
have
access
to
devices.
You
start
k
to
two
get
up
to
k
through
six,
I'm
confident
we
can
do
this
safely.
I
appreciate
the
cdc's
concurrence
in
that
frame,
dr
fauci,
the
fighting
administration,
we're
working
with
the
legislature
in
an
early
action
package.
We
hope
to
get
there
this
week.
We
can
announce
some
of
that
progress.
It
includes.
F
This
is
a
point
to
your
question.
It
includes
prioritization
framework
to
get
our
teachers
vaccinated.
We
are
prioritizing
our
teachers.
We
want
to
clarify
that
further
and
that
will
be
part
of
what
we
hope
to
announce
in
the
next.
Well,
I
don't
want
to
preview
anything
but
announce
very
very
shortly
in
terms
of
the
deal
with
the
california
legislature,.
A
F
State
has
standardized
an
hbase
criteria
at
65
and
over.
We
did
that
a
number
of
weeks
ago
and
that's
the
baseline
of
the
guidelines
that
we
have
put
out
here
in
the
state.
It's
part
of
that
phase,
1
1a
1b
within
that
phase,
1a
1b
includes
65
and
over,
but
it
also
includes
those
other
essential
workers,
healthcare
workers,
emts
paramedics,
includes
our
teachers,
includes
law
enforcement,
includes
spectrum
of
individuals,
including
farm
workers
and
critical
food
workers
in
our
state
as
well.
G
F
Yeah,
we'll
socialize
the
details
of
the
contract
later
this
week,
we're
finalizing
them
we're
on
track
again
to
formalize
our
third
party
agreement
with
blue
shield
and
kaiser
on
the
15th.
We
will
provide
those
details
in
the
coming
days
and
we're
working
all
of
those
issues
out.
The
number
one
issue
for
me
is
not
again
only
speed
and
efficiency,
more
transparency,
more
accountability,
but
also
making
sure
that
the
equity
lens
is
truly
advanced,
and
that
goes
to
the
question,
and
that
goes
deep
to
the
contract
as
well.
G
F
E
E
Obviously,
we
can
move
faster
if
people
are
able
to
get
to
one
of
the
superstations
or
one
of
the
community-based
points
of
distribution,
but
for
those
who
can't
we
are
here
locally
and
I
suspect
other
counties
are
doing
the
same
canada
coming
up
with
systems
to
ensure
that
we
can.
We
can
reach
those
seniors
where
they
are.
F
I
just
want
to
remind
folks
the
partnership
in
the
skilled
nursing
facilities,
the
assisted
living
facilities,
the
seniors
in
congregate
facilities
all
again
part
of
our
prioritization
that
we
put
out,
in
addition
to
the
65
and
over
cohort
the
partnership.
Advancing
those
efforts
directly
is
cbs
and
walgreens
in
partnership
with
the
federal
government
and
it's
an
example
of
across
the
country,
vast
majority
of
states
moving
with
similar
partnerships.
F
Part
of
our
allegation
updates
that
we
put
out
include
information
about
where
they
are
in
terms
of
the
total
percentage
of
vaccines
administered,
as
well
as
their
efforts
to
potentially
expand
their
reach.
And
you
may
note
that
last
week,
100
such
pharmacies
in
the
state
of
california
made
themselves
available
to
direct
community
vaccinations
pursuant
to
an
agreement
with
the
body
administration.
G
Thank
you.
This
next
question
is
from
kevin
yamamura
from
politico
los
angeles
county
announced.
It
has
to
focus
on
second
doses
this
week
and
has
stopped
taking
first
dose
appointments
at
various
clinics.
How
widespread
is
this
issue?
Why
is
california
seeing
this
hiccup
while
other
states
don't
seem
to
be,
and
are
you
concerned
that
we're
losing
a
week
in
which
we
could
get
first
doses
into.
F
H
Doctor
yeah
good
afternoon,
and
thanks
for
welcoming
me
to
san
diego
that
the
two
hour
drive
from
la
was
simple
and
easy,
so
always
good
to
get
down
to
san,
diego,
so
yeah.
I
think
we
have
a
a
lot
of
conversation
about
first
and
second
doses
across
the
state
l.a
county,
making
the
decision
to
really
prioritize
getting
people
their
complete
series
of
vaccines
very
important.
H
I
think
a
lot
of
conversation
with
our
federal
partners
about
what
to
do
with
that
interval
between
first
and
second
doses,
really
prioritizing
statewide,
making
sure
that
we
get
at
this
moment
as
we
continue
the
conversations
around
first
and
second
doses
that
we
do
make
sure
those
who've
received.
The
first
deuce
do
get
timely,
a
second
dose.
H
We
want
to
make
sure
that
they
do
get
their
second
dose,
as
we
continue
those
conversations
so
la
county
making
that
decision
a
number
of
other
counties
making
that
decision.
I
would
say,
nationwide
that
this
is
probably
going
to
be
a
theme
that
we
will
see
a
number
of
people
storing
second
doses,
to
make
sure
that
it's
available
there
and
the
consistency
of
supply.
The
clarity
on
what's
coming
in
the
weeks
to
come,
is
going
to
help
us
sort.
Through
this.
E
E
We
have
not
held
any
back,
but
what
we
are
doing
is
honoring
second
dose
appointments
first,
and
so,
as
we
move
forward
again
with
limited
supply,
we
will
honor
all
second
dose
appointments
that
have
been
made
and
then,
whatever
we
have
the
delta
between
second
dose
appointments
and
what
we
have
available.
We
will
continue
doing
first
dosages
as
well.
We
anticipate
in
the
weeks
ahead
that
we
will
continue
to
do
both
second
dose
appointments
and
we'll
have
enough
to
do
first
dosage.
But
again,
it's
all
contingent
on
supply.
G
This
question
is
from
brandon
lewis,
with
kfmb
here
in
san
diego.
We
know
the
federal
government
controls
the
supply
of
vaccine,
but
the
state
can
allocate
doses.
However,
it
wants.
Why
aren't
counties
like
san
diego
that
have
the
infrastructure
in
place
receiving
more
vaccines
to
meet
the
demand
and
how
much
longer
do
you
think
people
will
continue
being
patient
when
stories
of
fraud
are
becoming
more
prevalent.
F
Well,
we
want
to
call
out
the
fraud
and
we
take
backseat
to
no
one
in
terms
of
calling
that
out.
We've
made
that
clear
from
day
one,
in
fact,
even
before
the
first
dose
arrived,
the
state
of
california
was
forthright
in
terms
of
making
sure
the
folks
knew
that
if
they
were
trying
to
profit
by
moving
these
vaccines,
taking
them
out
of
turn
or
out
of
order,
they'd
be
held
consequenced
not
only
financially,
but
in
terms
of
any
subsequent
allocation
distribution
or
receipt
of
vaccines
in
the
future.
F
Dr
gotta
can
talk
more
about
that
in
a
moment.
Look
the
issue
of
scarcity
is
the
issue
that
we
are
all
mindful
of
it's
an
issue
that
has
now
increasingly
been
brought
to
the
fore
all
across
this
country.
We
have
these
governor
calls
with
the
new
biden
administration,
no
longer
the
transition
team
on
a
weekly
basis.
This
is
parroted
by
governors
all
across
the
country,
and
that
concern
is
highlighted
by
the
fact
that,
with
this
three
week
three
week
window,
you
get
a
sense
that
we're
not
seeing
appreciable
increases.
F
Now
again,
it's
not
a
critique.
I
want
to
compliment
my
administration
for
a
giving
us
a
look
into
the
future
with
some
certainty,
so
we
can
plan
over
a
three
week
period
and
I
want
to
acknowledge
the
work
they
did
with
the
pfizer
doses
allowing
six
shots,
not
just
five.
That's
a
20
increase.
Both
those
things
are
additive.
Both
those
things
are
helpful.
In
addition
to
those
direct
partnerships
that
we
announced
they're
announcing
all
across
this
country,
the
100
plus
goals
they
have
or
sites
they
have
as
a
goal
all
across
america.
G
This
next
question
comes
from
my
own
sources
reached
out
to
me
today
about
prioritization
of
people
with
developmental
disabilities.
You
know,
and
generally
as
well
folks
with
cancer
folks
with
various
pre-existing
conditions
that
put
them
at
a
higher
risk
to
serious
consequences
with
the
kill,
the
19.
So.
F
Thank
you
for
bringing
that
up,
and,
and
forgive
me
for
not
bringing
that
up
in
the
top
of
my
remarks,
it's
incredibly
important
to
me
and
when
I
say
born
deeply,
my
mother
worked
for
aid
to
adoption
of
single
kids
special
needs.
Kids,
I've
been
very
involved
best,
buddy,
all
the
work
we
do
with
special
olympics.
F
We
have
buddies
work
in
my
office
and
throughout
our
administration.
This
is
a
point
of
pride
and
it's
a
deep
concern
that
I
have
on
behalf
of
the
idd
community,
broadly,
that
we
are
not
providing
and
supplying
adequate
number
of
vaccines.
Dr
gali
and
I
quite
literally
again
were
in
the
car
about
an
hour
and
20
minutes
ago.
Talking
specifically
about
the
progress
we're
making.
It's
been
stubborn
and
candidly.
F
Neither
of
us
are
satisfied
with
the
progress
in
the
space
and
we
made
a
commitment
to
each
other
just
an
hour
and
45
minutes
ago,
to
figure
this
out
once
and
for
all
by
the
end
of
the
week
again
in
a
framework
of
scarcity,
it's
all
about
prioritization,
but
we've
got
to
take
care
of
the
most
vulnerable
and
people
in
the
developmentally
disabled
community.
With
all
of
the
unique
challenges
and
opportunities
present
them
in
their
lives,
these
vaccines
need
to
be
prioritized,
and
I
am
committing
to
do
that.
G
F
I
think
fear,
I
think,
trust.
I
think
it's
one
thing
to
assert
something
it's
another
to
prove
something.
I
think
we
need
to
prove
that
we
can
safely
reopen
our
schools.
Now
many
schools
have
safely
open
air
in
the
state
of
california.
We
had
87
positive
tests
in
the
month
of
january
87.
It
was
a
low
number
compared
to
december
and
november
in
terms
of
cases
in
our
schools
that
are
open
in
this
state.
F
We
need
to
hold
those
accountable
that
are
not
safely
reopening
the
schools
and
we
need
to
provide
the
resources
for
those
that
do
want
to
open,
so
they
can't
safely
reopen
their
schools.
Vaccinations
are
important,
but
so
is
testing,
so
is
physical
distance,
so
is
providing
the
physical
environment,
ventilation
and
other
supports
to
make
sure
not
only
our
teachers
are
safe,
but
our
janitors
are
safe.
Our
bus
drivers,
our
cafeteria
workers,
are
safe
as
well
and
that's
what
we
are
working
through
and
that's
what
we're
committed
to
advance
and
I'll
just
remind
you.
F
We
put
up
6.6
billion
dollars
to
bring
down
early
action,
support
to
do
just
that,
and
that's
the
amount
of
money
that
we're
working
with
the
legislature
to
discuss.
What's
the
most
efficient
and
effective
use
of
those
dollars
to
address
learning
loss
and
our
capacity
delivered
on
the
promotion
of
safety.
G
Next
question
comes
from
jocelyn
moran
of
cbs
47
fresno.
Here
in
fresno
county
we've
only
been
receiving
about
8
000
doses
a
week,
but
the
county
has
capacity
to
administer
about
40
000
a
week.
Other
central
valley
counties
are
also
receiving
very
low
amounts
of
doses,
given
that
the
central
valley
is
home
to
many
essential
agriculture
workers,
and
are
there
any
efforts
to
increase
the
allocation
here
or
bring
a
fema
vaccination
site
to
the
valley.
F
Yeah,
I
may
have
already
gone
ahead
of
my
own
announcement.
You
rearranged
the
tape.
I
implied
that
the
answer
is
yes
to
that
question.
At
least
latter
part
of
the
question,
as
it
relates
to
a
larger
site
in
partnership
with
the
federal
government.
We've
made
this
a
top
priority.
In
our
conversations
with
the
biden
administration,
we've
made
it
a
top
priority
in
all
of
our
conversations,
as
it
relates
to
the
allocation
of
doses.
Let
me
just
make
a
couple
points.
F
The
first
allocations
doses
went
out
based
upon
the
original
framework
for
health
care
workers
and
on
a
per
capita
basis.
It's
absolutely
true.
There
were
parts
of
the
state
that
had
more
abundant
distribution
because
of
their
health
care
delivery
system
being
more
robust,
as
it
relates
to
total
number
of
personnel,
and
so
it
followed
suit
that
more
vaccines
went
to
where
more
of
those
front
line
workers
were.
We
have
to
address
that
now
as
we're
moving
in
this
next
iteration
in
a
more
equitable
manner.
We're
committed
to
doing
just
that.
F
I
talked
to
a
number
of
representatives
in
the
central
valley
and
assured
them
of
our
efforts
and
we'll
be
socializing
them
in
the
coming
days
and
weeks,
and
it
absolutely
is
correct.
Our
essential
workforce,
disproportionate
numbers,
are
represented
in
the
central
valley,
farm
workers,
those
critical
workers,
meat,
packing
facilities,
folks
and
logistics,
warehousing
manufacturing,
central
retail
workforce
up
and
down
the
state.
Central
valley
matters
we
care
and
we
will
be
prioritizing
at
larger
scale.
Some
of
these
more
mass
vaccination
efforts
very
very
shortly.
G
G
F
The
right
question:
it's
one:
we've
asked
ourselves
often
trying
to
answer
every
single
day.
I've
noted
noted
a
minute
ago,
110
community
based
organizations
that
just
last
week
received
grants.
A
very
large
number
of
those
organizations
were
in
black
and
brown
communities,
the
african-american
latino
community
to
address
some
of
those
barriers
to
address
some
of
those
concerns.
I
referenced
a
moment
ago.
The
issues
around
trusted
messengers.
F
It
is
critical
and
essential
that
we
have
folks
the
community
leader
leaders,
trust
that
are
providing
information,
providing
support
for
the
community
faith-based
leaders
as
a
perfect
example,
so
we'll
be
stepping
up
those
efforts.
This
was
the
first
distribution
of
direct
community-based
organization
grants.
We
have
a
large
scale
communications
effort,
40
million
dollars
going
out
culturally
competent
messaging,
all
throughout
the
state
of
california,
and
we're
building
and
closing
two
things.
F
One
is
the
work
we
did
on
the
census,
outreach
and
we're
taking
portions
of
our
workforce,
we're
working
on
the
census
and
seeing
if
we
can
convert
their
energies
and
their
efforts
to
these
efforts
and
we're
learning
from
the
lessons
of
the
census.
What
worked?
What
didn't
work
in
terms
of
reaching
out
into
diverse
communities
and
making
sure
that
we
are
improving
upon
those
efforts,
as
it
relates
to
the
vaccine
allocations
distribution,
always
mindful
that
good
enough?
Never
is
with
that.
F
When
nathan
fletcher
said
that
he
calls
often
he
calls
often
and
as
weekends
included
late
night
early
morning,
you
have
a
mayor
that
doesn't
suffer
fools
and
it
demands
excellence
across
the
board,
and
I
can
assure
you
understands
the
ways
of
sacramento
as
well
or
better
than
anybody
with
his
relationships
there.
Mayor
gloria
is
so
uniquely
positioned
to
help
support
san
diego
in
this
city.
F
At
a
critical
time,
you
have
a
great
team
as
it
relates
to
health
care,
workforce,
incredible
partnerships
with
uc
and
as
always,
what
a
gift
it
is
to
be
able
to
utilize
a
site
like
this,
and
the
incredible
talents
of
the
entire
organization
represented
her
and
others
here
in
san
diego
padres.
Thank
you
all
very
very
much.
We
look
forward
to
updating
you
very
very
soon.
