California ranked 49th out of 50 states in administering COVID-19 vaccines, as the state used less than 28 percent of its allotment as of Friday, amid mounting anger and frustration from people who want to get their shots. Now comes word that the Trump Administration does not have a reserve stockpile after all, meaning additional doses that were expected next week will not make its way to residents anytime soon. Many questions now hang in the air surrounding the slower-than-expected coronavirus vaccine program in the state. Dr. Tomas Aragon, the Director of the California Department of Public Health and the state's Public Health Officer, talked more with KCBS Radio's Doug Sovern, Jeff Bell and Patti Reising.
