of people were getting a lot of questions here including things like how do i sign up to get sick when kron four's dan kerman has been digging in the each bay area county for what our viewers need to know. >>the first thing to remember is right now most areas is still vaccinating the top priority groups health care workers and those in long-term care facilities. some have started to vaccinate those 75 and older and a very small number of providers are starting to vaccinate those 65 to 74. if you fall into one of those groups these are the steps you should take most will be vaccinated by their health care provider. so your first step is to check your provider's web site there you can find out what group is currently being vaccinated and in some cases you can sign up to be notified when it's your turn to get a vaccination the next step is to check your county's coronavirus website. there will be plenty of vaccine information there. and many of the 9 bay area counties are allowing people to sign up there as well to be

notified when it's their turn to be vaccinated also keep in mind even if you're allowed to sign up and your county's website for your provider's web site. >>if you're in the age range of 65 to 74. don't expect to be going in for a shot anytime soon. again the supply is not there and as a result it could be several weeks or longer. in san francisco. dan kerman kron 4 news. >>and the number of people dying at long-term care facilities and assisted living homes is deeply disturbing and there is a push to make sure this vulnerable population group is the first group to be vaccinated. >>but advocates are saying really it's just not happening kron four's terisa stasio gives us a a look at the problem and how advocates say something has got to be done before more people die. >>this is really got to be a all hands on deck mike dark the staff attorney for california advocates for nursing home reform. >>and member of the california

>>the problem is that there are more than 7,000 assisted living facilities in california. that offer a lower level of care but serve the same vulnerability who die at disproportionate rates of this disease and vaccinations making almost no progress in those facilities at all it's terribly alarming. he says the state needs to step in and have more accountability. the most important thing right now ironically is getting good information and by that i mean the state is not providing to the public any way of tracking how fast or slow vaccination is proceeding in long-term care facilities. you can find it and so what we're getting is mostly anecdotal reports from families and residents of these facilities and he says more outreach must occur one of the things that most seriously frustrates me and other advocates elderly in california. is how many residents of assisted living facilities are being told. you

go figure it out yourself we the facility are not going to be offering the vaccines is just too complicated. so you figured out and they're saying this to people who have cognitive impairments people who may be disabled and people who are living in places where there are visitation restrictions that keep them from going in and out easily. so this this will be a disaster if the state doesn't get on top of it very soon he says a solid action plan to those who are the most vulnerable in society needs to be figured out fast for for us the vaccine is credible sort of ray of hope. it would be terrible and ironic if while it's available finally. thousands of californians continue to die, we've got to do something about it. teresa stasio kron 4 news. with states now i'm just troubled of vaccinate people 65 and older a lot of senior citizens are scrambling they're trying to figure out how to sign up. >>in the east bay, there's a
