LONG BEACH — On Dec. 10, the City of Long Beach announced its vaccination plan.
The first shipment of vaccines will be arriving before the end of this month and will include 3,900 Pfizer doses, and then in early January, 11,600 Moderna doses will also arrive. Our team has acquired all the necessary refrigeration infrastructure and is ready to go.
The first residents to get the vaccine in group A will include:
Healthcare workers in hospitals
Residents and staff at nursing and long term care facilities
Paramedics and EMT personnel
Second to receive the vaccine will be our healthcare workers in clinics and public health departments. And third to receive the vaccine will be our dental and key pharmacy personnel.
In group B are all essential workers in education and schools, grocers, public safety officers, transit workers and other essential workers.
And group C will include residents over 65 and other residents with critical care needs. All of these populations should be vaccinated in spring 2021.
Vaccinations for the general public, which will occur at the city’s current testing centers, will likely start in late spring. And if the federal government and the state are able to acquire more vaccine doses this timeline could be expedited.
