On Dec. 17, the first batch of vaccines arrived in Long Beach. At 9 a.m. Dec. 18, the city began its vaccine rollout to medical workers in Long Beach.
The first residents to get the vaccine in group A will include:
Second to receive the vaccine will be healthcare workers in clinics and public health departments. And third to receive the vaccine will be 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.
Mayor Garcia in his newsletter stated vaccinations for the general public, which will occur at Long Beach testing centers, will likely start in late spring. If the federal government and the state are able to acquire more vaccine doses this timeline could be expedited.
