We know that the initial shipments of vaccines are arriving in states and California received an initial allotment of 326,000 doses this week. Front line DME staff are delivering equipment and services to patients in their homes and other settings. Vaccination doses will be made available based upon a plan developed by the Governor and an Advisory Team.
We are contained in Tier 1 of distribution but the initial priority is hospital and SNF staff. CAMPS is pushing to make sure that your staff get vaccinated as soon as possible. The distribution will be done at the local county level who will verify eligibility for workers and establish the process. You can view vaccine distribution and the priority process with these links:
VGM has also established a simple process with a template letter that can be sent directly to Governor Newsom. Take two minutes to click on the link below so you and all your individual staff can contact the Governor:
