As the largest state in the country, California received the largest share of coronavirus vaccines. However, in the beginning it was one of the slowest states when it came to distribution. Only about a quarter of the doses California received were given out by Jan. 11 and only about 3% of the population over 16 had received their first dose. The pace has picked up since then.
