JOHN CARROLL BEGINS OUR COVERAGE.

>> Reporter: IT HAS BEEN THE BIG ISSUE WHEN IT COMES TO GETTING A COVID NIGHT TEEN VACCINE FOR MONTHS NOW.

PLENTY OF PLACES TO GET ONE.

NOT ENOUGH SUPPLY.

THURSDAY, A LOT MORE STRAIN IS GOING TO BE PUT ON THE SUPPLY WHEN CINDY AKINS, 50 AND OVER, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF THEM WILL BECOME ELIGIBLE.

MEDICAL OFFICER, IS EXCITED THAT MORE PEOPLE WOULD GET VACCINATED.

>> Reporter: IT IS CESAR CHAVEZ DAY SO NO ONE AT THE COUNTY WAS AVAILABLE TO TALK TO US BUT SUPERVISORS HAVE SAID CONTINUALLY, THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS IN PLACE TO ADMINISTER A LOT MORE VACCINES.

LIKE THE HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS GIVING THE SHOTS, THE COUNTY IS ALSO AT THE MERCY OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WHEN IT COMES TO SUPPLY.

THERE WERE NO, THE COUNTY HAS PLACED AN EMPHASIS ON EQUITY.

GETTING THE VACCINE TO COMMUNITIES HIT HARD BY THE PANDEMIC.

THAT HAS LED TO THE OPENING OF PLACES LIKE THIS.

A DISTRIBUTION SITE AT THE SHERMAN HEIGHTS DISTRIBUTION CENTER.

PEOPLE STARTED LINING UP HERE HOURS BEFORE THE FACILITY OPENED THIS MORNING.

IT IS JUST ABOUT 12:30 NOW.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THE LINE STRETCHES DOWN AROUND THE BLOCK.

A SECURITY GUARD TOLD ME FOLKS ARE WAITING UP TO FOUR HOURS TO GET THE SHOT.

THIS IS A NO APPOINTMENT NEEDED WITH A WALK-UP SITE.

IF YOU WANT TO GET A VACCINE HERE, YOU HAVE TO LIVE IN THE 92113 OR THE 9202 ZIP CODE.

300 DOSES A DAY ARE BEING GIVEN HERE.

AS WELL-INTENTIONED AS IT SAYS, DR. SHARIF SAYS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE COUNTY'S APPROACH.

>> WE HAVE BEEN GETTING LIMITED DOSES.

THE ZIP CODE IS A RIGHT.

I UNDERSTAND EQUITY REASONS.

PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DRIVING ALL THE WAY FROM OCEANSIDE TO THE PARK, ALL THE WAY TO EAST COUNTY TO GET THEIR VACCINES.

JUST LOOKING AT THE ZIP CODE WHERE THE SITE IS, IT DOESN'T MAKE A LOT OF SENSE.

>> Reporter: ANOTHER JOE TO THE SUPPLY CHAIN WILL COME ON APRIL 15th WHEN ELIGIBILITY OPEN UP TO PEOPLE 16 AND OVER.

VETERANS, AND 40% OF VETERANS, BETWEEN AGES 50 AND 74.

I THINK THOSE NUMBERS ARE UNDERESTIMATES OF WHAT ACTUALLY MAY HAVE HAPPENED.
