"Remembering ‘hope’: First Californian vaccinated against COVID reflects on a year gone by"
The Los Angeles Times interviewed Dr. Timothy Brewer, professor of epidemiology, about the history of the pandemic in 2021.
Helen Cordova has celebrated two COVID-19 vaccinations in her family this month.
Her mother got a booster on her 66th birthday, then headed to a boisterous family dinner at Chili’s, something that wasn’t possible last winter when both indoor and outdoor dining were banned.
A few days later, Cordova’s newly eligible 5-year-old niece got her first dose after being promised a lollipop.
