“We wanted to make sure it was a fair competition for our seniors, we heard loud and clear that our seniors were having a hard time getting those appointments," said Shane Reichardt, Senior Public Information Specialist for Riverside County.

The move was to help prioritize our most vulnerable community at county clinics. But starting Wednesday, they won’t be holding blocks of appointments just for seniors making more doses available to anyone in phase 1 A and phase 1 B tier 1, that includes health care workers, agricultural workers and emergency services

“We are seeing more supply thats very much relief we want to see that supply continue to increase so that we can get through all the residents in Riverside County," said Reichardt

We asked about the seniors that are still waiting for their second doses

“Even though we are opening up our vaccination to those phases tiers those looking for a second dose are still going to get their second dose we gotta make sure we have the supply on hand," said Reichardt
