It will take 6 months to vaccinate Hawaii residents, state official says
Hawaii health officials are unsure how much of the population will voluntarily get immunized when a COVID-19 vaccine is available to help bring residents back to a somewhat “normal” life.
State lawmakers in the House Health Committee held an informational briefing Thursday to find out what the vaccination plan is once a likely two-dose candidate is found to be safe and effective.
“We’re looking at trying to see how we can get back to … a normal back-to-life situation, hopefully improving our economic situation,” said Ronald Balajadia, chief of the Department of Health Immunization Branch. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention directed all states to establish a vaccination plan by Oct. 16 in anticipation of a vaccine possibly before year’s end.
