(CNN) California is revamping its coronavirus vaccine delivery system amid criticism over the slow and inefficient rollout of doses, the California Department of Public Health announced Tuesday. "The vaccine provider network is expected to include public health systems, pharmacies, health systems, public hospitals, community health centers, pharmacies and pop-up and mobile sites," officials said. In addition, "providers will be compensated in part by how well they are able to reach underserved communities," state health officials said. Health officials hope this will reduce data lags and provide real-time information on the vaccination process. The overall vaccine supply into California will continue to be dictated by the federal government, state health officials noted.
