The first round of COVID-19 vaccines is estimated to arrive in Orange County, California, by Dec. 15, according to county health officer and Orange County Health Care Agency Director Dr. Clayton Chau.

The shipment is expected to be just over 25,000 doses, which will be reserved for the most high-risk health care workers, such as those who work in the ER and ICU, as well as respiratory therapists, said Chau.
