According to the California Department of Public Health, water and wastewater workers will be offered the vaccine starting in Phase 1C. This is a rapidly changing plan, please check back often.

As an example of a possible timeline, Los Angeles County Department of Public Health estimates Phase 1C will start for county residents in March and that everyone in this phase should have been offered at least one dose by late April/early May. LA CDPH cautions the timing may change.

On January 7th, CDPH announced counties can begin vaccinating people in the next phase as soon as demand starts to subside for the current phase. Phase 1B is expected to begin soon statewide accord to news reports.

As of January 9th, a total of 734,405 vaccine doses have been administered statewide. A total of 2,180,725 vaccine doses, which includes the first and second dose, have been shipped to local health departments in multiple counties.
