California health official says state on track to vaccinate seniors by June – SF Gate

With the current allocations from the federal government, the state is receiving about 400,000 doses a week, or 500,000 in a good week. At this rate, it could take until June to inject shots into the arms of seniors. "We don't know when that supply will be increasing, but that's about what we've b...
