Millions more Californians qualify for a shot starting Thursday, and in two weeks, all residents 16 and older will be eligible. Public health officials are urging newly eligible people to be patient while searching for an appointment because the supply of vaccine doses coming from the federal government is still constrained in some places. An estimated 1.4 million L.A. County residents will become eligible April 1, and nearly 4 million people ages 16 and older will become eligible April 15, Ferrer said. The issues have mostly improved as vaccine supply and appointment availability have increased. “We do ask both those currently eligible and those that will be newly eligible to be patient as supply increases,” she said.
