LA County Vaccine Roll Out• Expecting 82,875 Pfizer doses with the first allocation• May arrive Tuesday 12/15/2020, allocated to 83 ACHs • Next allocation larger with both Pfizer and Moderna
• Arrives 12/21-23• Plans to allocate 100% requirement to all SNFs for staff and residents• Using Moderna vaccine (good for 28 days in the fridge)• By licensed beds and fixed staff:bed ratio (~2:1)• Will be oversupply but will allow vaccinating new residents for the
next month as well as visiting/contractual non-employee staff

Why not the Pharmacy Partnership?
• Per ongoing discussions with CDPH, CVS and Walgreens this week:– Anticipating significant delays– Activated after 12/21 with uncertain start and uncertain speed for 338 facilities– Limited availability, 3 onsite visits over 2 months for BOTH doses– One time only, you still need a system for the subsequent dose
• Advantages of facilities receiving vaccine and administering directly:– Allows staggering staff to minimize absences – Will reach you faster– Will achieve higher vaccine coverage– Prepares you for ongoing vaccination for the rest of the pandemic

COVID-19 vaccine results• A scientific, collaborative triumph with
better and faster results than expected: 94% efficacious
• Endpoint was symptomatic disease. Also reduced severe COVID-19.
• Reassuringly similar results from two largely similar vaccines
• Extensively studied with 43,000+ (Pfizer) and 30,000+ (Moderna) phase 3 participants
• Wide ages and 42% and 37% respectively from diverse racial and ethnic groups

Mechanism of Action
BioNTech
Moderna
• mRNA codes for the viral spike (S) protein which is used to enter human cells through the ACE2 receptor
• Encapsulated in lipid nano-particles that stabilize and allow cell entry
• Translated by ribosomes with the spike protein then anchored on the cell wall
• Recognized by antigen presenting cells leading to the development of humoral (antibody) and cellular immunity
• Does NOT affect our DNA
