Earlier this week, the California State Association of Counties
(CSAC) and a coalition of county associations including the
Urban Counties of California (UCC), the Rural County
Representatives of California (RCRC), the County Health
Executives Association of California (CHEAC), and the Health
Officers Association of California (HOAC) sent an
urgent letter
to Governor Newsom that outlined a number of local
vaccination challenges and recommendations.
The COVID-19 vaccination effort is the highest priority for
counties. Counties have been working diligently to address the
necessary coordination, clear guidance and timely communication
necessary for all entities administering vaccinations regardless
of phase. As counties have been working on this effort we have
identified specific areas of additional work needed and
recommendations for the state. These areas are in reporting, data
transparency, allocations, and accountability.
Counties continue to communicate these needs to the
Administration.
