1. ORANGE TIER RE-OPENING INFORMATION
Los Angeles County has met the threshold for the less restrictive Orange Tier in the State’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy. A revised Los Angeles County Health Officer Order will go into effect on Monday, April 5 at 12:01 a.m. to reflect newly permitted activities.
2. VACCINE ELIGIBILITY
On April 1, any Californian who is 50 or older will be eligible to receive their COVID-19 vaccination. On April 15, all California residents who are 16 or older will be eligible to book their shots.
The MyTurn website has updated the eligibility criteria to allow residents 50-64 to begin to schedule appointments:
Please note that, while the County received more vaccine doses this week, there are not yet enough doses to vaccinate everyone that is eligible, so we need to ask folks to be patient until supply increases.

7. RESIDENT ADS
ORAL SURGEON RECOMMENDATION
If you are looking for an oral surgeon, I highly recommend Richard Ting, DDS, MD. From the staff at the front desk to the doctor’s assistants, I felt well cared for. The friendly greeter escorted me into the procedure room where all COVID-19 precautions were strictly enforced, masks on the doctor as well as the assistants. When the doctor gave me novocaine, I hardly felt anything. As he removed my tooth from well-below the gum line, he explained every detail which eased my mind and best of all, I had no pain.
