Residents and staff at long-term care facilities will be next to receive the vaccine. Additional doses of the vaccine are expected in the coming weeks.

Phase Two of vaccine distribution would go to essential and critical infrastructure workers; older adults; people with underlying health conditions; and those in jail or prison or living in other group settings. Phase Three will be distributed to children, young adults, and people working in lower risk settings. Phase Four will include those not in the first three phases.

The County's vaccine planning includes community education and engagement; health care systems coordination; and immunization logistics for the coordination of distribution.
