Roughly 20% to 40% of L.A. County’s frontline workers who were offered the vaccine refused to take it, just one example of skepticism around the vaccine even among health care workers. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-12-31/healthcare-workers-refuse-covid-19-vaccine-access @CShalby et al
