By CBSLA Staff, CBS Los Angeles January 24, 2021 LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) – Los Angeles County's Public Health Director is asking for patience because Cal State, Northridge, and four other large-scale county vaccination sites will have fewer appointments available this week. "First, I want to say I'm so sorry to the hundreds of thousands of people, particularly those people who are 65 and older," said Dr. Barbara Ferrer of the L.A. County Department of Public Health. L.A. County is expected to get about 137,000 doses to distribute this week, however, 89,000 of them have been guaranteed to people who need their second shot. That leaves less than 50,000 available for new appointments for the week. Read more at CBS Los Angeles
