Four days before an estimated 4.4 million Californians with disabilities or underlying health conditions become eligible for the vaccine, the California Public Health Department released guidance on the verification process. The state also offered specific examples of people who would qualify for eligibility but are not explicitly listed. AdvertisementThe new guidance arrived amid confusion about whether people in these categories could sign up for vaccinations. The state had earlier set Monday as the first day of eligibility, but many had been waiting for more clear direction. The state said people will not be required to prove they have disabilities or health conditions when they go in for vaccinations.
