Orange County’s coronavirus metrics gain ground; late vaccines arrive

On Tuesday, Dr. Clayton Chau, OC Health Care Agency director and county health officer told county supervisors he’ll meet with Blue Shield officials on Thursday. After the new administrator takes over (likely sometime next week) the county will get regular allocations of vaccines like other health providers, such as Kaiser Permanente and UCI Health, but will no longer have to supply doses to smaller medical offices and clinics, he said.
