California COVID Vaccine Update: What Questions Do You Have?

According to the LA Times tracker, nearly 6.5 million doses have been administered in California, with over 12 percent of Californians having received at least one dose. Some people are criticizing the rollout for leaving out certain essential workers. What questions do you have?
