Opening
this
site
has
been
a
massive
undertaking
involving
great
national
state
and
local
partners.
Cal
state
la
is
honored
to
join
with
all
of
the
agencies
that
are
represented
here,
and
we
extend
our
special
gratitude
to
the
biden
administration
and
to
governor
newsom.
Thank
you,
governor
for
your
leadership
and
deep
commitment
to
bringing
this
pandemic
to
an
end,
and
everyone
welcome
to
cal
state.
D
L.A
good
morning-
and
let
me
start
by
thanking
governor
newsom
for
his
partnership
and
leadership,
mayor
garcetti,
congressman
jimmy
gomez
and
general
van
hurk
as
the
northcom
commander
and
all
the
rest
of
the
local
elected
leaders
that
are
here
today
with
us
presidents,
the
president's
national
security
strategy
for
the
covenant,
19
response
and
pandemic
preparedness
is
being
put
to
action
today.
D
We're
committed
to
ensuring
that
everyone
who
wants
a
vaccine
gets
one
fema
has
been
asked:
a
partnership
with
cdc
and
establishing
community
vaccine
center
sites
and
we're
doing
that
in
a
number
of
ways.
The
first
way
is:
we've
expedited
assistance
to
all
states,
territories
and
local
governments
providing
over
3.3
billion
dollars
to
40
states
territories.
D
D
Looking
at
other
factors
such
as
poverty,
lack
of
housing
or
vehicle
access,
fema's
deployed
civil
rights
advisors
to
each
state
into
each
site,
along
with
disability
integration
specialists
to
make
sure
that
we
look
over
the
whole
population.
D
In
addition
to
those
factors,
we're
also
looking
at
census
data
and
we're
also
looking
to
expand
this
pilot
from
these
two
sites
here
here
and
the
site
in
oakland
to
other
sites
and
we'll
be
working
with
texas
and
new
york
next
to
set
up
additional
sites
there
we'll
continue
to
open
sites
across
the
country
to
have
large
community
vaccination
centers.
In
addition
to
this
site.
D
Here
we
also
have
a
mobile
capability
that
will
go
out
from
this
site
and
kind
of
a
spoken
hub
concept
to
make
sure
that
we're
reaching
the
most
to
be
reaching
populations
most
in
need,
we'll
be
working
with
local
elected
leaders,
either
faith-based
organizations
our
private
nonprofits
to
make
sure
that
we
are
reaching
the
most
social
and
vulnerable
communities
through
this
pilot
we'll
provide
personnel
and
vaccine
above
and
beyond
the
state's
allocation,
which
is
important.
D
D
Last
week
we
started
a
program
through
the
pharmacies
to
reach,
through
their
network,
and
here
in
california,
they're
using
cvs
and
rite
aid.
We
provided
over
a
million
doses
last
week
throughout
the
united
states
and
next
week,
they'll
be
up
to
two
million
doses,
we're
also
providing
support
to
skilled
nursing
facilities
and
health
care
clinics.
D
In
addition
to
that,
one
of
the
things
that
president
biden
has
done
is
set
what
the
what
the
capability
will
be
looking
forward
three
weeks
and
each
week
since
he's
come
into
office.
That
number
has
gone
up
each
week,
so
it
has
increased
over
time
over
57
percent
of
when
he
first
came
into
office.
D
In
closing,
just
want
everyone
to
know
that
fema
is
committed
to
vaccinating
everyone
we'll
do
that
in
partnership
with
state
and
local
governments,
as
we
are
here
today,
everyone
everyone
has
a
role
to
support.
Families
and
friends
have
a
role
to
support,
vaccinating
get
them
registered.
You
can
do
that
through
the
the
state
site
at
my
turn.california.gov,
or
you
can
phone
the
833-422-4255
number
for
help
if
you
can't
use
the
site
and
lastly,
please
continue
to
be
safe,
wear
mass
practice,
social
distancing
and
get
vaccinated.
Thank
you.
E
All
right,
good
morning,
everybody
I'm
general
glenn
van
hurk,
I'm
the
commander
of
north
american
aerospace,
defense
command
and
united
states,
northern
command
commonly
referred
to
as
northcom
and
norad
thanks
everybody
for
being
here
to
the
governor
to
the
mayor,
state,
local
leaders.
Thank
you
so
much
for
allowing
us
to
be
here
and
being
part
of
this
opportunity
that
we
have
today,
I'd
like
to
say
it's
an
honor
actually
to
be
part
of
the
nation's
first
state-led,
federally
supported
vaccine
vaccination
site.
E
I
can
promise
you
that
the
efforts
will
save
lives.
American
lives
that
we're
conducting
today
my
mission
as
the
commander
of
norad
and
united
states.
Northern
command
is
to
defend
north
america,
with
my
norad
hat
on
and
defend
the
united
states
of
america,
with
my
northcom
hat
on,
and
also
being
prepared
to
provide
defense
support
of
civil
authorities.
E
It
may
be
a
little
bit
of
an
asymmetric
threat
called
covid,
but
there's
no
more
sacred
or
noble
mission
than
taking
care
of
one's
family
here
in
the
homeland,
and
that's
what
we're
actually
doing
here
today
is
taking
care
of
folks
right
here.
American
lives
and
saving
lives.
Secretary
of
defense,
austin
has
been
very,
very
clear.
The
department
has
capacity
and
capability
to
contribute
to
our
homeland's
effort
to
fight
covet.
That's
exactly
what
we're
doing
and
we'll
continue
providing
more.
E
I
can
tell
you
that
today
it
starts
with
covid
vaccination
right
here.
Behind
me,
we're
here
for
the
long
haul,
we're
incredibly
proud
of
what
we've
done:
we're
cred,
incredibly
proud
of
what
we're
doing
and
what
we're
going
to
continue
to
do
in
the
future
to
get
our
nation
beyond
covid.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
support.
F
Newsome,
thank
you,
general.
Let
me
thank
each
and
every
one
of
the
distinguished
speakers
who
are
about
to
come
up.
I
want
to
thank
mayor
in
particular
for
his
incredible
stewardship
and
support
of
not
only
this
effort,
but
efforts
throughout
this
region.
Hilda
solis,
president
of
the
la
county
board
of
supervisors
and
invaluable
partner,
but
in
particular
let
me
just
thank
general.
Let
me
thank
the
biden
administration.
The
butt
administration
gets
it
and
they're
getting
it
done.
F
This
is
one
of
two
sites
now
here
in
the
state
of
california
operational
beginning
today,
as
bob
said,
with
roughly
three
thousand
vaccines
here
in
southern
california,
three
thousand
vaccines
in
northern
california.
By
the
end
of
the
week,
we
will
double
that
6
000
here,
6
000
in
northern
california
alameda
county.
This
is
a
framework
of
focus
not
just
on
efficiency,
not
just
speed,
but
on
the
issue
of
equity.
That's
what
brings
us
here
today,
not
just
the
spirit,
not
just
the
platitude
of
this
being
a
north
star.
F
F
F
One
month
ago
today,
on
january
16th,
we
reported
40
600
cases
of
covet
19.
Today,
five
thousand
six
hundred
cases,
forty
thousand
six
hundred
down
to
five
thousand
six,
two
weeks:
thirty,
nine
percent
reduction,
the
number
of
people
hospitalized
thirty,
two
percent
reduction
in
the
number
of
people
in
our
icus.
We
have
seen
vaccination
rate
increase.
There
are
only
seven
jurisdictions
in
the
world
that
have
administered
more
doses
of
the
vaccine
than
the
state
of
california.
Some
6.3
million
doses
of
the
vaccine
has
now
been
administered
here
in
the
state
of
california.
F
We
recognize
we
have
more
work
to
do
the
issue
at
the
end
of
the
day
is
supply.
We
need
more
moderna
vaccine,
more
pfizer
vaccine.
We
need
to
get
the
federal
approval
of
the
j
j
vaccine.
We
need
to
provide
an
ample
supply,
so
we
can
plan
not
just
two
to
three
weeks
out,
but
over
the
course
of
the
next
few
months,
till
we
get
to
the
proverbial
space,
we're
all
looking
forward
to
not
that
long
from
now
and
that's
to
herd
immunity.
F
The
good
news
parts
of
the
state
are
already
beginning
to
open
back
up.
Business
is
already
starting
to
take
shape
modified
nonetheless
we're
working
hard
to
get
our
kids
back
in
school.
It
is
a
priority
to
get
our
kids
safely
back
in
school,
particularly
our
kindergarteners
up
to
sixth
grade.
We
can
do
that
and
we
are
indeed
grateful
to
the
cdc
and
the
guidelines
they
just
put
out
and
the
work
the
biden
administration
is
helping
to
advance
that
cause.
F
I
want
to
just
thank
all
of
the
members
of
the
military
air
force
and
the
army,
our
own
national
guard,
150
strong,
led
by
general
baldwin
who's
here
with
us.
The
office
of
emergency
services,
led
by
mark
gilleducci,
is
here
with
us
incredible
partnerships
with
hhs.
Our
secretary
mark
galley
who's
here
with
us,
as
well.
F
Later
this
week,
150
cbo
strong,
focusing
on
trusted
messenger
status
to
make
sure
that
we
are
in
language,
culturally,
competent
bottom
up
in
terms
of
our
frame
and
our
effort
again,
focusing
not
just
on
speed
but
delivering
on
the
promise
and
promotion
of
equity.
We
put
out
a
dashboard
showing
that
we're
not
where
we
need
to
be
african-american
community
in
terms
of
the
latino
community.
We
have
a
special
obligation
to
do
more
and
that's
exactly
again
what
this
site
represents
and
what
the
site
in
northern
california
represents.
F
Let
me
just
close
again
expression
of
gratitude
and
appreciation,
but
also
I'll
close
with
an
expression
of
exp
that
the
best
is
yet
to
come.
Now,
with
the
dashboard
of
not
only
looking
more
transparency
at
our
provided
network
looking
at
performance,
we
now
have
a
new
third-party
agreement.
That's
actually
going
to
pay
for
performance.
F
So
war
work
to
do
in
that
space,
but
a
lot
of
good
work,
that's
been
done.
That
will
advance
that
cause
final
point.
None
of
these
vaccines
come
from
the
state
allocation.
None
of
the
vaccines
in
alameda
county
come
from
the
state
allocation.
This
is
separate
and
above
this
doesn't
impact
our
pharmacy
partnership.
Those
are
separate
and
above
or
the
community
clinics
where
we're
investing
time
and
energy
in
the
body.
Administrations
prioritize.
F
F
That's
the
constraint,
but
we
are
in
closing
building
a
system
like
the
one,
the
mayor
and
the
supervisors
and
council
member
deleon,
congressman
gomez
and
assembly,
woman
carrillo
all
have
been
promoting
building
out
a
system
whose
only
constraint
is
supply
so
when
the
spigot
of
supply
turns
back
on
with
j
and
j
and
more
modern,
more
pfizer
that
we
have
no
limitations
in
terms
of
how
we've
organized
the
logistics
and
the
network
operation,
the
data
and
the
transparency.
So
that's
what
this
represents.
What
dodger
stadium
represents?
F
It's,
what
all
of
those
other
large
mass
sites
represent,
but
also
again,
these
mobile
efforts,
meeting
people
where
they
are
going
into
our
diverse
community
and
that's
the
message
we
don't
want
to
deliver
today
and
we're
delivering
it
because
of
a
new
administration
by
the
administration
and
their
demonstrable
leadership.
And
for
that
we
close.
G
G
H
I
want
to
thank
governor
newsom
and
president
biden
for
their
partnership
and
quick
work
to
launch
this
vaccination
site.
It
was
almost
a
year
ago
when
I
joined
cal
state
hillel
la
in
conjunction
with
gavin
newsom,
to
launch
covid
19
testing
here
on
this
campus
in
partnership
with
our
state.
We
chose
the
site
again
today
for
the
very
same
reason
we're
here
now,
because
cal
state
l.a
and
the
team
that
composes
it
are
trusted
partners
and
represent
the
fabric
of
the
east
side
of
los
angeles.
H
H
Our
mission
with
this
vaccine
is
to
curb
these
numbers
and
the
disparities
that
exist
by
getting
more
people
vaccinated.
So
it's
clear
that
equity
is
driving
the
decision
to
place
the
vaccine
site
here
at
cal
state
l.a.
To
date,
almost
38
percent
of
l.a
county
residents,
65
and
older,
have
received
at
least
their
first
dose
of
covid19
vaccine.
H
This
is
so
important,
given
that
age
is
one
of
the
main
factors
that
leads
to
hospitalization
and
deaths
from
covid19,
but
we-
and
you
know
we
have
a
long
way
to
go.
Although
los
angeles
county
has
administered
over
1.35
million
doses
to
almost
400
vaccination
sites.
In
initial
data
dph
released
last
week,
we
saw
that
equity
continues
to
be
our
guidepost,
our
north
star,
and
for
those
65
and
older
that
have
received
the
vaccine.
Only
20
percent
are
african-american
and
26
percent
are
latinx.
H
I
I
can't
thank
the
administrations,
both
the
biden
as
well
as
gavin
newsom,
for
making
this
happen
and
for
working
with
all
of
us
we're
working
hard
to
make
sure
that
transit
isn't
prohibitive
for
people
who
can't
make
it
here
because
they
don't
own
a
car
or
because
they
are
disabled.
So
metro,
services,
metrolink
and
other
transport
partners
will
be
helping
us
to
bridge
that
gap.
H
H
I
Mayor,
I
was
just
here
as
the
designated
sprayer,
but
I
guess
I
got
a
chance
to
speak
too
good
afternoon
or
good
morning.
Everybody
and
I
will
try
to
be
quite
brief,
because
I
know
we
have
a
big
lineup,
but
let
me
just
start
with
the
thanks
that
we
need
to
have
starting
at
the
very
top
with
this
administration,
while
joe
biden
may
not
be
here
physically.
He
certainly
is
here.
I
He
and
vice
president
harris
have
shown
their
commitment
and
through
bob
fenton,
a
great
friend
of
the
western
united
states
of
california
and
somebody
who
is
now
bringing
that
leadership
to
the
nation.
I
want
to
thank
him
and
his
team
he's
back
there
very
smartly
for
the
great
work
that
they
are
doing.
I
We've
seen
that
time
and
again
on
homelessness,
we've
seen
that
in
this
pandemic
on
feeding
our
seniors
now
we're
seeing
it
on
getting
vaccines
out
there,
and
I
couldn't
ask
for
a
better
dream
team
and
I'm
not
just
saying
that,
because
that's
what
politicians
do
this
team
here
gets
this
issue.
We
understand
it
because
it's
in
our
bones,
it's
in
our
families.
It's
in
our
work,
my
family,
both
the
mexican
and
suicides,
grew
up
here
in
boyle
heights.
This
was
the
gateway
to
america.
For
them
this
was
their
community.
I
We
have
families.
We've
talked
to
where
you
call
the
husband
to
say
I'm
sorry
about
your
son.
Please
pass
on
your
condolences
to
your
wife
and
he
says
she
just
died
too.
Families
were
two
three,
even
one
where
six
members
of
a
family
died.
We
might
say
things
are
getting
better
and
I
agree
with
the
governor.
I
It
is
so
much
better
today
than
it
was
just
a
month
ago,
but
even
this
level
today,
in
los
angeles,
is
triple
quadruple
what
it
was
at
our
lowest
point
in
this
pandemic,
and
I
want
to
thank
our
by
hilda
solis,
because
that
you
can't
find
a
border
between
the
city
and
the
county
when
it's
coming
to
testing
vaccines
and
the
work
that
we're
doing
on
equity.
So
my
message
is
two
things
today,
one
equity.
We
need
to
get
this
vaccine
to
those
people
who
are
dying
and
we
need
to
get
it
to
them
quickly.
I
That's
why
these
mobile
teams-
and
we
are
proud
to
work
with
our
federal
counterparts
and
state
counterparts,
to
look
at
dodger
stadium
to
look
at
our
walk-up
sites
to
look
at
our
mobile
teams
that
the
county
and
the
city
has,
because
you
see
those
statistics
and
you're
right
governor
and
your
right
supervisor.
The
statistics
we
cannot
be
satisfied
with
with
3.5
percent
of
vaccines
are
going
to
black
angelinos.
That's
not
an
acceptable
number.
I
I
We
right
now
are
at
a
place
where
we
don't
have
enough
vaccine
and
you've
heard
me
speak
very
passionately
about
this
enough
vaccine
for
the
demand
in
about
a
month
or
two
that
will
flip
and
we
will
have
more
vaccine
than
capacity
if
places
don't
build,
and
what
the
federal
government
has
said.
What
president
biden
has
said
what
his
covet
team
has
said.
We
will
be
ready
what
the
county
has
said.
I
I
But
my
third
point
is
with
equity
and
with
supply
is
we
all
have
to
make
sure
that
we
bring
people
here,
and
I
know
supervisor
solis
and
I
are
focused
on
that
ride
to
the
vaccine
for
folks
that
are
out
there
give
a
neighbor
who
doesn't
have
transportation
a
ride
here.
There's
no
better
thing:
you
could
do
metro,
los
angeles
department
of
transportation,
working
with
private
sector
partners
and
access
are
working
on
making
sure
there
are
rides
so
that
people
can
get
here
for
their
vaccines.
I
So
that's
all
I
have
to
say.
I
want
to
thank
general
as
well
for
being
here.
It
means
a
lot
to
have
a
four-star
here
to
have
somebody
who
has
been
entrusted
not
only
with
northern
command
but
who
has
stood
up
and
representing
the
men
and
women
who
right
now
are
in
camouflage
in
a
city,
maybe
they're,
not
from
who
always
answer
the
call.
As
a
veteran
myself,
I
want
to
salute
them.
I
want
to
thank
them.
I
want
to
say
you
are
the
ones
who
are
angels
in
the
city
of
angels
here.
I
G
J
J
Tell
me
who
you're
with
and
I'll
tell
you
who
you
are
today.
I
am
proud
to
stand
with
president
biden,
governor
newsom,
fema,
cal
oes,
the
leaders,
educators
and
health
professionals,
who
represent
california,
who
represent
california
state
university,
los
angeles
and
the
proud
members
of
this
community
of
essential
workers,
elders
and
diverse
family
families
that
jointly
run
and
will
be
beneficiaries
of
this.
J
This
endeavor
that
we
have
here
of
a
covet
19
vaccination
site,
my
family,
like
so
many
of
the
families
that
I
represent
in
assembly
district
51,
has
been
impacted
by
covet
19.,
my
family
and
I
are
immigrants
to
this
country
to
los
angeles.
We
made
our
home
in
the
heart
of
boyle
heights
in
city
terrace.
I
am
a
formerly
undocumented
child,
who
grew
up
just
around
the
corner
of
cal
state
l.a
and
was
the
first
in
my
family
to
graduate
from
this
institution.
My
two
younger
sisters
have
graduated
from
cal
state
la
cal.
J
State
l.a
is
home.
We
are
first
generation
americans.
Both
of
my
parents
are
essential
workers.
I
worry
about
their
safety
every
day.
Just
like
I
worry
about
the
safety
of
our
grocery
store
workers.
Our
janitors,
our
home
care
providers,
our
child
care
providers,
bus
drivers
and
delivery
drivers,
restaurant
workers,
monolingual
spanish
speakers,
hard-working
immigrant
working
class,
essential
and
front-line
workers
who
take
public
transit
and
risk
their
lives
every
day,
so
that
the
rest
of
us,
the
rest
of
the
angelenos
of
this
county
and
this
city
can
stay
home,
can
quarantine
and
be
safe.
J
Not
everyone
has
that
luxury.
We
can
and
should
do
more
to
address
the
inequities
that
exist,
that
many
of
us
already
knew
and
have
personally
lived.
Everyone's
life
has
been
impacted
by
this
virus.
Too
many
lives
have
been
lost.
There
isn't
a
single
person
in
this
community
and
in
this
space
right
now,
who
isn't
counting
on
us
to
get
it
right
to
inoculate
our
neighbors,
protect
our
most
vulnerable
residents
and
combat
the
misinformation,
putting
our
loved
ones
at
risk.
J
The
importance
of
this
vaccine
and
this
vaccination
site
cannot
be
overstated.
Equity
is
critical.
It
is
not
merely
rhetorical,
it
is
not
trivial,
it
is
not
optional.
President
biden
and
governor
newsom
have
both
committed
to
ensuring
that
communities
of
color,
latinos
and
low-income
communities
have
access
to
the
covet-19
vaccine.
J
During
his
time
as
coach
of
the
lakers
phil
jackson
used
to
say,
if
the
strength
of
each
team
is
its
individual
members,
then
the
strength
of
each
member
is
their
team.
There
are
over
1.17
million,
documented
covid
19
positive
cases
and
over
19
000
coven
19
related
deaths
in
los
angeles
county,
making
us
ground
zero.
In
california.
J
We
can't
beat
covet
19
in
california
unless
we
vaccinate
los
angeles
county.
We
can't
vaccinate
los
angeles
county
without
a
strong
team
made
up
of
the
folks
that
you
see
here
today.
We
cannot
do
this
without
the
leadership
or
support
of
health,
healthcare
providers,
senior
centers
schools,
churches
and
community
based
organizations
and
people,
just
like
you.
J
I
ask
for
your
partnership
in
ensuring
that
we
are
successful
in
inoculating
our
neighbors.
Protecting
our
communities,
most
vulnerable
residents
and
combating
the
misinformation
that
has
put
our
loved
ones
at
risk.
Thank
you
for
your
willingness
to
help,
keep
our
loved
ones
and
our
neighborhoods
safe,
but
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do.
J
J
J
K
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
As
a
I'm
congressman
jimmy
gomez,
I
represent
the
34th
congressional
district
and
I'm
also
on
the
house
ways
and
means
committee
and
the
vice
chair
of
the
oversight
and
government
reform
committee,
but
as
somebody
who
flies
to
dc
every
almost
every
other
week
on
a
plane,
I'm
pretty
good.
I
I
have
a
huge
protection
against
covent,
now
being
being
as
a
person.
K
That
is
a
big
deal,
so
we
have
a
great
leader
who's
going
to
help
us
make
sure
that
we
can
tackle
this
pandemic,
but
this
pandemic
must
be
tackled
by
not
just
the
federal
government,
but
by
the
state
leadership.
We
have
gavin
newsom
who's,
doing
a
great
job.
We
have
eric
garcetti,
hilda
solis
kevin
de
leon,
wendy
carrillo,
because
it
is
a
team
effort.
K
I
can
tell
you
that
the
national
guard
is
an
institution
that
not
only
do
our
communities
rely
on
in
situations
like
this,
but
our
democracy
relies
on
when
it's
on
on
the
tip
of
a
precipice
of
going
over.
So
I
just
want
to
say
to
all
the
national
guardsmen
and
all
the
troops
here.
Thank
you
so
much,
but
this
pandemic
is
not
over.
This
is
not
even
the
beginning
of
the
end
right,
so
we
still
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do.
K
So
this
is
just
the
beginning
of
this
battle,
because
with
only
about
five
six
million
people
in
california,
with
their
first
shots,
we
still
have
a
long
ways
to
go.
But
I
know
that
I
agree
with
the
mayor
that
this
is
personal.
K
We
should
all
be
disgusted
and
offended
and
appalled,
and
we
should
be
doing
something
about
it,
which
we
are
and
we're
going
to
go
into
those
communities
that
are
hardest
to
reach,
as
somebody
who
parents
are
from
mexico
never
really
spoke
english.
K
I
can
tell
you
for
a
fact:
it's
often
the
kids,
even
if
they're,
only
five
or
six
or
eight
who
are
translating
for
the
parents
right,
that's
the
kind
of
barriers
we
have
to
a
true
equitable
health
care
system,
right
language,
wi-fi
broadband
right
cell
phones,
all
that
is
preventing
us
from
getting
it
out.
But
I
know
california
is
doing
a
lot
better
job
than
other
states,
but
we
have
a
lot
more
to
do.
L
Thank
you
much
congressman
jimmy
gomez,
I'm
going
to
close
this
out.
If
there's
any
q
a
obviously
the
comms
operation
will
run
that
there,
but
I
want
to
give
a
very
special
thank
you
to
our
president,
cal
state,
la
robert
covino,
for
hosting
us
here
today,
as
well
as
hosting
fema
and
the
state
of
california,
on
the
wonderful
campus
of
cal
state
l.a,
a
very
special
thank
you
to
bob
fenton,
the
acting
director
for
fema,
representing
our
president,
joe
biden.
L
I
want
to
recognize
mark
gailey,
our
secretary
of
health
and
human
services,
as
well
as
congresswoman
mayor
eric
garcetti,
ilda
solis,
our
supervisor
assemblywoman
wendy
carrillo
as
well,
and
a
very,
very
special
thank
you
to
our
governor,
no
other
than
gavin
newsom,
because
it
is
this
partnership
between
the
state
of
california
and
the
federal
government
with
joe
biden
that
makes
us
come
to
reality.
This
is
a
very
unique
mega
center,
it's
one
of
the
largest
in
the
state,
if
not
in
the
entire
country.
L
I
want
to
underscore
a
couple
points
that
governor
gavin
newsom
just
articulated
a
few
moments
ago.
The
supply
for
the
vaccines
is
separate
from
that
of
the
state
of
california,
so
they're
not
cannibalizing
on
the
same
supply.
So
that's
very,
very
important
to
understand
two
points
I
want
to
make.
It
is
about
equity
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
those
communities,
as
jimmy
gomez
just
mentioned
a
few
moments
ago,
that
are
disproportionately
impacted
by
the
coronavirus.
L
Everyone
here
today
has
been
touched
by
the
coronavirus
either
we
know
someone
a
family
member,
a
loved
one,
a
neighbor
who
has
been
infected,
or
we
know
someone
who
has
died
and
that's
why
these
mobile
sites
will
be
absolutely
critical
for
our
neighbors.
So
I
want
to
thank
very
special.
Thank
you
on
behalf
of
all
of
the
constituents
from
cd14
the
very
district
that
we're
in
today.
Thank
you,
governor
gavin
newsom,
for
your
stellar
leadership
on
this
issue.
It's
not
been
easy.
Whoever
thought
they
would
have
had
a
global
pandemic
hit.
L
N
Hi
there
I'm
laura
nelson
from
the
la
times,
and
this
question
is
about
vaccine
supply.
I'm
hoping
one
or
more
of
you
can
address
what
some
of
the
specific
barriers
are
to
increasing
vaccine
supply
across
the
country.
If
it's
staffing
supply,
you
know,
factory
facilities,
whatever
those
reasons
may
be,
and
secondly
is
the
state
of
california
now
getting
the
three-week
look
ahead
for
doses
that
was
promised
by
the
biden,
administration,
yeah.
F
Thank
you
I
referenced
a
moment
ago,
the
next
two
weeks.
Let
me
be
more
specific:
we're
given
visibility,
three
weeks
in
advance
every
tuesday
morning,
8
a.m,
west
coast
time
we
are
on
a
conference
call
with
governors
across
this
country,
including
this
morning,
we
in
the
last
two
weeks
have
received
1.08
million
vaccines.
This
week
will
receive
1.28
million
vaccines
next
week,
1.31
million
doses
of
vaccines,
so
from
little
over
a
million
to
1.3
million.
Is
the
visibility
move
forward?
F
Here's
the
constraint
manufactured
supply,
there's
simply
not
enough
doses
being
manufactured
from
moderna
and
pfizer
j
j.
We
hope
to
get
the
emergency
youth
authorization
at
the
end
of
this
month.
That's
a
single
dose
regime
regiment.
So
you
know
it's
21
days
for
the
vaccine.
That's
being
administered
here,
pfizer
28
for
moderna
j's,
a
game
changer,
but
those
supplies
won't
come
at
scale
until
roughly
june
july,
and
so
over
the
course
of
the
next
number
of
weeks.
Supply
is
limited.
We're
doing
over
200
000
doses
a
day,
1.4
million.
F
Last
week
we
received
less
than
1.1
million.
You
could
start
doing
the
math.
That's
why?
Inevitably
people
ask?
Well?
You
have
all
these
large
sites
now
you
have
to
throttle
back
while
that's
true
again
the
only
limitation
being
supply.
As
the
mayor
said
a
moment
ago,
and
this
is
really
important
point-
they
emphasize
we're
building
the
infrastructure
where
the
only
constraint
is
supply,
but
when
the
supply
is
ample,
then
we're
able
to
move
aggressively
and
quickly
and
that's
why
it's
so
important.
F
F
Look
it's
one
thing:
I've
learned
is
be
careful
how
you
well
it's
hard
to
predict
the
future,
particularly
with
this
virus,
but
notably
with
consideration
of
the
mutations,
with
considerations
in
mind
of
the
variants
just
to
just
bring
update
on
the
variance.
We
have
a
189
uk
variants
that
we've
sequenced
here
in
the
state
of
california,
two
south
african
variants
in
alameda,
santa
clara
county,
no
brazilian
variants,
but
over
1800
1834
west
coast
variants.
Something
not
a
lot
of
folks
have
paid
much
attention
to
those
mutations.
F
Those
variants
are
a
caveat
to
my
answering
your
question
with
a
for
affirmation,
meaning
the
answer
is
yes.
Based
on
trend
lines,
3.5
percent
seven-day
positivity
rate
remember
we're
11.4
percent.
A
month
ago,
three
point
five
percent:
seven
day
we
have
one
county
plumas.
Pursuant
to
your
question,
that's
moving
out
of
purple
into
the
red
tier
today.
I
anticipate
substantial
number
next
week
and
even
more
in
the
subsequent
weeks,
and
so,
if
the
trend
lines
continue,
then
I
think
indeed
that
is
the
case.
F
We'll
see,
counties
move
not
just
from
purple
to
red,
but
more
and
more
red
to
orange,
and
I
anticipate
based
on
the
number
that
are
already
in
orange.
You'll,
see
many
more
in
that
yellow
tier
as
well,
which
is
the
most
permissive
of
the
tiers
we
put
out
24
weeks
ago
and
our
blueprint
for
a
safer
reopening.
O
Governor
newsome
chris
ann
carlo,
with
kfi
news,
a
couple
of
questions
about
education
number
one
I
know
at
the
end
of
last
week
there
was
some
talk
about
a
possible
deal
with
the
legislature.
It's
looking
for
the
latest
on
that
and
number
two.
It
seems
as
though
there's
more
synchronicity
with
the
federal
government
right
now,
the
cdd
cdc
with
its
new
guidelines.
O
At
the
end
of
last
week,
austin
buettner,
coming
out
yesterday
and
saying
that
there's
a
lack
of
cohesion
between
the
federal
guidelines
and
the
state
guidelines,
just
wondering
if
there's
consideration,
to
bring
those
more
into
alignment
well,.
F
They're,
remarkably
aligned
and
so
respecting
those
comments.
We
were
very
proud
that
california's
guidelines
were
as
consistent
as
they
were,
with
the
cdc
guidelines,
we're
working
with
the
legislature
to
close
those
gaps
and
address
some
of
the
nuances,
but
I'm
very
proud
of
that
work
that
we've
done
han
and
glove
with
the
biden
administration
cdc
to
understand
where
they're
going
and
try
to
direct
a
framework
that
we
put
out
in
december
and
provided
to
the
legislature
to
safely
reopen
our
schools.
I
want
to
get
our
schools
reopened.
F
Let
me
repeat
that
we
need
to
get
our
schools
safely
reopened
for
kindergarten
to
sixth
grade.
We
can
do
that
safely.
We
put
out
a
framework,
we
put
out
a
plan,
we
put
up
6.6
billion
dollars
for
the
legislature
to
consider
for
an
early
action.
We
are
making
progress
and
it
is
stubborn,
the
negotiation
and
we
continue
to
negotiate.
F
The
fruits
of
other
negotiations
will
be
made
public
as
it
relates
to
other
early
action,
particularly
supporting
small
business
grants
and
other
supports
around
referred
to
a
few
weeks
ago,
as
the
golden
state
stimulus
to
get
cash
in
the
hands
of
millions
of
californians
we're
making
progress
in
terms
of
advancing
that
collaborative
spirit
on
schools.
We
still
have
more
work
to
do,
but
we
are
committed
to
resolve
that
shortly.
Get
our
youngest
kids,
our
youngest
cohorts
safely
back
in
school,
particularly
our
special
needs.
Kids,
kids

are
homeless,

Kids.
This
you
care
about
equity.
P
Thanks
governor
josh,
haskell,
abc
7,
eyewitness
news,
you've
talked
a
lot
about
supply
being
the
issue,
but
there's
been
reports
of
widespread
data
issues
in
california.
Software
problems
that
have
caused
issues,
keeping
track
of
how
many
doses
are
available
at
one
time
when
you're
not
getting
the
supply
you
need,
and
then
you
have
these
issues
what's
being
done
to
fix
that
problem
and
when
can
counties
expect
to
receive
information
on
when
and
how
blue
shield
will
get
involved
with
vaccine
distribution,
they.
F
Can
go
to
covid19.ca.gov
go
to
covid19.ca.gov.
You
can
read
the
contract.
You
can
see
the
terms
of
the
contract
every
contract
related
to
kovitz,
since
the
beginning
of
this
pandemic
is
on
that
site,
including
the
third
party
agreement,
as
you
refer
to
it.
As
the
blue
shield
agreement
that
went
into
effect
yesterday,
it
will
be
implemented
over
the
course
of
the
next
number
of
weeks.
It's
all
around
transparency,
it's
all
about
data
mining.
It's
all
about
analytics.
F
It's
about
performance
payments,
measurements,
it's
about
working
hannah,
gloves
not
just
with
the
counties
but
working
with
our
provider
network.
We
identified
about
1100
providers
that
are
the
most
essential
in
terms
of
advancing
our
reference.
A
moment
moment
ago,
referenced
over
3
500
that
are
in
the
system.
1100
plus
that
are
the
most
active,
will
be
streamlining
that
and
all
of
that
information
again
is
available
on
the
covet19.ca.gov
website.
M
Hi
mayor,
I'm
with
the
cbs
station
here
locally
wondering
what
you
would
like
to
say
to
counties
who
say
they
want
to
opt
out
of
the
contract
with
a
blue
shield
because
they
feel
like
they
have
made
huge
investments
to
ramp
up
vaccination.
M
F
Well,
we
need
to
do
better
and
do
more
for
more
efficient
distribution,
speed
and
equity
and
transparency
with
vaccines.
You
have
a
lot
of
counties,
doing
extraordinary
work,
a
lot
of
counties
that
are
models
for
not
only
the
state,
but
this
nation.
You
have
a
lot
of
counties
that
are
falling
short.
F
So
the
answer
to
your
question
is:
we
are
many
parts,
but
one
body,
58
counties,
470
plus
cities,
cities
have
issues
with
counties,
counties
with
state
state
across
this
country,
with
supply
constraints,
federal
issues
and
the
like,
and
so
we're
trying
to
streamline
that
we're
trying
to
organize
that
we
created
a
new
platform
more
familiar
to
you
here
in
l.a
called
my
turn
been
piloted
here
in
la
first.
Thank
you
mayor
and
thank
you
to
the
supervisor.
F
I
Q
Okay,
thank
you.
Governor
mack,
sherwood
with
spectrum
news
nation
site
is
opening,
as
at
least
five
others
in
la
have
had
to
close
because
of
vaccine
shortages.
Who
decides
what
vaccines
go
where
and
how
will
you
prioritize
the
vaccine
supply
to
the
other
sites
like
dodger
stadium,
that
are
only
scheduling
second
doses,
because
they
don't
have
enough
to
go
around.
F
G
Governor
you
gave
a
fairly
upbeat
assessment
today
of
the
program
talking
about
a
light
at
the
end
of
the
tunnel
and
that
the
best
is
yet
to
come.
Yet
if
you
talk
with
a
neighbor
or
look
at
any
poll,
there's
a
lot
of
dissatisfaction
out
there
a
lot
of
anxiety,
some
of
it,
as
you
know,
directed
at
you,
I'm
just
wondering.
Is
there
a
disconnect
between
what
you're
seeing
and
what
the
public
is
seeing
and
if
so,
could
you
explain
that.
F
Went
through
with
this
latest
surge
just
a
few
weeks
ago
here
in
southern
california
in
particular,
only
reinforced
that
so
it's
absolutely
understandable
why
people
may
feel
that
way.
The
reason
I
highlighted
the
progress
is,
I
want
people
to
know
of
this
progress.
Eleven
point,
four
percent
down
to
three
point:
five
percent:
forty
thousand
cases
down
to
fifty
six
hundred
cases,
icu's
hospitalizations
decompressing
less
than
a
third
of
where
they
were
at
peak
just
a
few
weeks
ago.
Let
me
underscore
this
death.
F
One
month
ago
today
we
reported
669
deaths
today,
64.-
and
I
know
we
don't.
None
of
us
live
in
data
or
trends
or
in
the
aggregate.
We
all
live
with
different
experiences
that
are
unique
and
distinctive
to
our
own
realities,
but
the
fact
is
at
scale
we
are
moving
in
the
right
direction,
including
in
terms
of
the
administration
and
doses
of
vaccine,
in
terms
of
getting
people
back
to
work
and
including
getting
our
kids
back
to
school.
F
So
those
are
those
are
objective,
empirical
truths
and
I
hope
over
the
course,
the
next
number
of
weeks
people
absorb
this
different
reality
with
more
optimism,
but
also
mindful
and
sober
of
these
mutations.
These
variants,
mindful
and
sober
of
our
work
to
do
on
equity,
mindful
and
sober
on
the
constraints
of
vaccination
supply,
mindful
and
sober
of
the
imperative
to
maintain
our
vigilance
as
it
relates
to
non-pharmaceutical
interventions
and
wearing
face
coverings
and
making
sure
we
continue
to
socially
and
physically
distance.
F
Let
me
thank
you
all
again,
very,
very
much
and
just
thank
the
general
thank
team.
U.S
military
thank
the
body
administration
fema,
our
own
office
of
emergency
services.
Thank
local
leadership.
Thank
each
and
every
volunteer.
That's
behind
the
scenes,
helping
support
this
operation
at
cal
state
la
I
want
to
thank
the
president
for
opening
up
this
site.
I
want
to
thank
the
chancellor
for
allowing
this
system
to
be
one
of
our
principal
sites,
advancing
the
cause
of
equity,
and
I
wanna
remind
people.
