Monkeypox Vaccine Extremely Limited In L.A. County

from KQED's The California Report · host KQED

L.A. County health officials closed the online waiting list for the monkeypox vaccine Thursday, just one day after it went live. Some qualified people are being turned away at vaccine sites and given conflicting advice.  Reporter: Jackie Fortier, KPCC  Truckers at the Port of Oakland continue to protest for the second straight week over AB5, the state law that reclassifies many independent contractors as employees. But truckers have agreed not to block access to terminals and plan instead to rally in designated "free speech" zones set up by the port.   Reporter: Holly J. McDede, KQED  The Oakland City Council is expected to vote Tuesday to urge state lawmakers to put a measure on the ballot that would officially repeal Prop 8. Reporter: Rachael Myrow, KQED  Customs and Border Protection say a record number of migrants have been injured while trying to cross the border illegally into San Diego County.  Reporter: Gustavo Solis, KPBS Nevada’s Lake Mead, which is fed by the Colorado River, has long played a critical role in supplying much of California’s water. While it’s no secret all of the West is gripped by drought, new images of Lake Mead released by NASA are providing the clearest picture yet of the dire situation.  Reporter: Matt Guilhem, KCRW Learn more about your ad choices.
