On this edition of Your Call, we're taking your questions about the COVID-19 vaccine rollout in California and discussing vaccine efficacy against variants. California, a state with almost 40 million residents, has now administered more than 10.5 million doses.
Over 50 percent of seniors have now received a shot. The state is also reserving 40 percent of its supply for low-income residents in nearly 450 zip codes. What questions do you have?
Guests:
