Health monitors at an "Observation Area" wait for motorists being inoculated with a COVID-19 vaccine at a mass vaccination site at the parking lot of L.A. County Office of Education headquarters in Downey, Calif., Wednesday, Feb. 3, 2021. Currently, the state has authorized health workers, teachers, food and agriculture employees, other first responders and people 65 and older to be inoculated. In a surprise move last week, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the state would next move to an age-based system, outraging, among others, people with disabilities who had been earlier in line. Coronavirus hospitalizations are falling across the United States, but deaths have remained stubbornly high.
