In a significant reshuffling of vaccine eligibility guidelines, California officials said Monday they will be shifting who is prioritized in the next round of COVID-19 inoculations to focus on age rather than specific occupations considered higher risk. Last week, state officials said it could take until June to get vaccinations to all those 65 and older. AdvertisementThe state has so far administered more than 2.4 million vaccine doses and more than 4.5 million doses have been shipped to health providers. Currently, state and county officials have said there is not enough vaccine supply to match goals to vaccinate the masses. State epidemiologist Dr. Erica Pan said last week that the state is receiving 300,000 to 500,000 doses each week.
