>> reporter: counties will have the flexibility to modify this criteria. marin county will open vaccination site at the north gate mall wednesday to give boosters to those 675 and older instead of starting at the 65-year-old group. >> the subset that's at higher risk for more severe outcomes if they become infected. as soon as we work through the demand in that group, maybe just a few days, we'll open it to 65 and older. >> reporter: cvs and walgreen's will become some of the state's main distributors of the vaccine and will follow the cdc guidelines giving priority to those 65 and older or those with under lying health conditions. gary seville made sure he was among the first to get a booster. >> there wasn't much luck about it. just go online, sign up, come here and they do it. >> reporter: but there is some luck to it. outside of the same cvs where
