San Francisco Chronicle: Bay Area's COVID vaccine equity efforts get boost from state
Bay Area counties will receive nearly $8 million to help vaccinate their poorest residents against the coronavirus after local officials complained that the region was largely left out of state equity efforts.
State Sen. Dave Cortese, D-San Jose, said Wednesday that Gov. Gavin Newsom has agreed to provide about $7.6 million to expand coronavirus vaccine access in communities at higher risk of infection, including expanding vaccination sites and hiring outreach workers.
