Brooks Baehr is an official on the Department of Health (DOH) COVID-19 & Pandemic Response Team and serves DOH communications as a Spokesperson.  We discuss the progress of Hawaii’s Covid-19 vaccination distribution.  He comments on how the distribution is working for the first target health care and essential workers and Kapuna group now, and what is learned to improve and ensure a successful roll-out for all residents needing vaccination.  Other questions are discussed, such as why certain Phase 1B essential workers, such as teachers and agricultural workers, are only being vaccinated in certain counties? What are Travel rules inter island, Mainland and international and why do they change.  And what is the vaccination distribution funding source?
