On Dec. 21, the Health and Safety Commission and the Medical Advisory Task Force held a joint special meeting for educational purposes, during which Commissioners and City Council members participated in lively discussion. While many questions posed to the experts on the Task Force remain controversial or without answers yet, one unified message emerged: The Medical Advisory Task Force unequivocally recommend the COVID-19 vaccine.
“The vaccine is going to be a big thing,” Lee H. Hilborne, M.D., said. “So, I think one of the things that we need to do as a city is push very hard to get our residents vaccinated and make sure that we’re the most vaccinated city in Los Angeles County.”
