‘Best Is Yet to Come’ for Energy Storage Technology
Advancements in batteries, along with an improved regulatory environment and more investment, could make this decade the Roaring ’20s for energy storage.
Many areas have been considered a focus for the electric power industry in recent years. The grid continues to face several challenges, as technology advancements transform the way electricity is produced and delivered.
Industry analysts have told POWER that energy storage, be it from batteries, thermal systems, mechanical storage, hydrogen production, or pumped hydropower, is critical to the advancement of the power sector. The need for storage is considered paramount to the electrification of transportation and other businesses, and to continued growth in renewable energy.
“For energy storage, the best is definitely yet to come,” said Ryan Brown, co-founder and CEO of Salient Energy, a Canada-based zinc-ion battery manufacturer. Brown told POWER, “We know that the industry is still in its infancy in almost all respects. While adoption is already meaningful and rapidly accelerating, a clean energy world will require trillions of dollars’ worth of additional capacity to be installed.
“The increasingly favorable regulatory environment for energy storage, combined with the evolution of business models that are bringing more capital into the space, means that the 2020s will be a breakout decade for the energy storage sector,” Brown said.

The company in a recent earnings report said its 2020 energy storage deployments “for the first time … surpassed 3 GWh in a single year, which is an 83% increase compared to the prior year [2019].” Courtesy: Tesla |
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) in a summer 2020 report said batteries are a key part of the energy transition (see sidebar), especially when it comes to providing grid energy storage and electrifying transport. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) have grown significantly in the U.S. over the past decade (Figure 1). The EIA said that in 2010, seven U.S. battery storage systems accounted for 59 MW of power capacity. By year-end 2018, there were 125 systems in operation, with 869 MW of installed power capacity. Those EIA figures do not include recent capacity additions, including the 1.2 GW of storage installed in the U.S. in 2020 set to come online in the next year, most of it in California.

Caribbean’s Largest System Takes Shape Ground was broken in December for construction of the Caribbean’s largest solar generation and energy storage system, being built on St. Kitts Island. It’s an example of how storage is supporting the power grid, particularly in developing areas. The Government of St. Kitts and Nevis, and the state-owned St. Kitts Electric Co. (SKELEC) launched the project with the owner Leclanché, a Swiss energy storage company that is serving as the prime engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor. The system will provide between 30% and 35% of the island’s baseload energy needs for the next 20–25 years. The $70 million microgrid project is a fully integrated system consisting of three core components: a 35.7-MW solar photovoltaic system (the solar field), a 14.8-MW/45.7-MWh lithium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS), and Leclanché’s proprietary energy management system (EMS) software. The system’s batteries will be housed in 14 custom-designed enclosures near the main SKELEC power station and adjacent to the solar field. A portion of the generated electricity will meet the island’s daily peak power demand; the remaining energy will charge the large-scale BESS to meet a second peak demand after the sun sets. “This clean energy project marks a significant milestone for our citizens, tourist economy, our broader business community, and indeed the entire Caribbean region,” said Dr. The Honorable Timothy Harris, St. Kitts and Nevis prime minister. “The amount of carbon dioxide emissions we will reduce—nearly three-quarters of a million metric tons over 20 years—is a significant demonstration of our strong policy for clean, renewable energy.” Leclanché has worked with SKELEC to develop the system. The company will own and operate the facility under its strategic build, own, and operate model, and invest through its St. Kitts subsidiary, SOLEC Power, with partner Solrid. Its EMS software will integrate all the components of the system and efficiently manage the delivery of electricity to the SKELEC grid, while also providing spinning reserve, frequency regulation, and load-balancing functions. “Together, we have designed a system whose construction and ongoing energy production will be paid for over time from the sale of clean and reliable solar energy. We are pleased to have accomplished both objectives while developing a project financeable by well-established institutional investors,” said Leclanché CEO Anil Srivastava. Once completed, which is anticipated in the first half of 2022, the solar and storage system will replace more than four million gallons of diesel fuel per year. It is expected to generate about 61,300 MWh of electricity in its first year. —Bryan Urban is executive vice president North America for Leclanché. |
Kelly Speakes-Backman, former CEO of the Energy Storage Association who was recently named to a top post at the U.S. Dept. of Energy, told the audience at POWER’s Distributed Energy Conference last year that additions of battery storage doubled in 2020, and probably would have tripled if not for construction slowdowns caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Lower battery costs have supported growth. The EIA said the cost of utility-scale battery storage in the U.S. fell almost 70% between 2015 and 2018. The U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) projects that increased battery production, and market competition, will continue to drive costs down. NREL recently said it sees mid-range costs for lithium-ion batteries falling another 45% by 2030.
“Lithium-ion batteries remain the defining technology for new energy storage projects,” said Brown, while noting change is coming. “New technologies that offer performance and material cost improvements, while taking advantage of lithium-ion’s low-cost manufacturing, show serious promise for the space.”
Range of Solutions
The many types of energy storage technologies include batteries, with a range of electrochemical storage solutions, including advanced chemistry batteries, flow batteries, and capacitors. There’s also thermal storage, capturing heat and cold to create energy on demand or offset energy needs. Mechanical storage includes technologies to harness kinetic or gravitational energy to store electricity.

“We’ve been following storage for years, and it’s always been ‘almost’ there,” said Morten Lund, a partner in the Energy Development group with Stoel Rives, and chair of the firm’s Energy Storage Initiative. Lund said having storage attached to solar power installations “is almost standard for the U.S. You can use peakers [gas-fired peaking plants] for your short-term leveling, and storage when you need to take care of overgeneration. It makes it easily the most cost-effective solution for that problem in California [Figure 2].
“We’ve been through a few technology cycles,” Lund told POWER. “Lithium-ion is the dominant technology, and is likely to stay that for the foreseeable future. It’s relatively cheap, and it works, [and] the stuff that works better right now is more expensive. In this country, these decisions are made by the market, and the market looks for the good-enough, low-cost thing of the moment.”
Storage tech includes pumped hydropower, creating large-scale reservoirs of energy with stored water. And then there’s hydrogen—where excess electricity generation can be converted into hydrogen via electrolysis and stored.
“Hydrogen is by far the most exciting recent technology to be advanced by industry, albeit, it, too, is an old technology that has been given a new lease on life,” said Brian Restall, senior director for Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners, a renewable energy investment company. “Hydrogen is by far the biggest competition to batteries for stationary and vehicle applications.”
Restall said it’s important to develop alternatives to lithium-ion-based storage systems. “As electric vehicles become more accepted and popular, lithium-ion batteries’ supply chains are coming under pressure to supply both stationary and vehicle applications,” Restall told POWER. “For stationary energy storage, lithium-ion has a relatively limited ability to support 2-hour-plus energy storage needs. As a result of this and also ESG [environmental, social, and governance] concerns over cobalt, it is good to see industry investing in alternative chemistry such as LFP [lithium-iron-phosphate] to replace lithium-ion, and also the rise in flow batteries such as Eos [which offers a zinc hybrid cathode device].”
“I am hoping that hydrogen as an energy storage medium will become viable. Hydrogen has almost been there for a long time,” said Kelly Echols, a partner with Stoel Rives and co-chair of the firm’s Energy Technologies Working Group. “I’m hopeful that we may actually be on the cusp, where this P2H [power to hydrogen] will become a reality, where it can be produced at a low-enough point to be cost-effective.”
Echols told POWER, “There does seem to be a demand, essentially in a fuel cell. You can store it longer, and with fuel cells, the storage capability, the ways you can hold onto that hydrogen, it could be longer. There does seem to be a lot of interest in this combined electrical hydrogen future, where they’re complementary to each other, not competitive… where hydrogen is used in long-haul trucking, and we see interest in air transport.”
Eric Martin, a Stoel Rives partner focused on natural resource development, told POWER, “From a hydrogen perspective, the utilities that are facing this prospect are where the public is concerned about GHG [greenhouse gas] emissions, and climate change. It’s a way to adapt their existing infrastructure in a less-climate-intensive way. Then there’s the demand function from the end-users. If you’re the owner/operator of a fleet, and you’re [deciding] what type of vehicles you’re going to have, then it’s feasible [hydrogen] could be implemented.”
Hardware, Software, Reliability
The hardware involved with energy storage—batteries, inverters, etc.—receives a lot of attention in storage discussions. Shamik Mehta, director for product marketing for Data Platform at Intertrust, told POWER, though, that “software is one of the most important BESS components. The software controls and sets limits on how much each cell can be charged to, discharged to, how fast to charge or discharge, and more.”
Mehta said the software “has to detect the state of charge and depth of discharge of each individual cell and monitor each cell’s health and temperature. When a typical battery pack can run up to tens of thousands of cells, this quickly becomes a challenge. Whether it’s energy arbitration, demand response, or other energy storage applications, the software and its associated algorithms decide the right times to charge and discharge, controlling how much, far, or fast to charge or discharge each cell and pack, and when.”
“Where the battery really has a place is in reliability,” said Anthony Shaw, CEO and founder of Progeneration Energy, a Texas-based energy project developer. “I think storage is the next evolution. If you’re comfortable with solar, then the next step is to ask about the storage aspect. Right now, for many, storage is kind of a nice to have. The assumption is that if the battery is being used simply to store excess power, it doesn’t pencil.”
Shaw told POWER about a project his company worked on—a facility that “wanted the added benefit of backup power. For them, having a storage component made sense.” He said the cost of batteries has been an issue, but technology advancements are helping in that regard.
“They’re moving in the right direction, and they’re moving very fast,” he said. “The cost of [initiating] scaled production is probably the next step.”
Zinc Air—a Breakthrough?
An international group of researchers in January announced they had reached a breakthrough in the development of zinc-air batteries, an alternative to lithium-ion that could be cheaper to produce and involve fewer mining challenges. The group, led by Wei Sun, a researcher at the University of Münster in Germany, said they are close to producing a battery that won’t catch on fire thanks to its incorporation water, along with a hydrophobic zinc salt.
The battery could be especially beneficial for utility-scale energy storage, said Chunsheng Wang, director of the Center for Research in Extreme Batteries at the University of Maryland and a co-author of a paper that was published in the journal Science. “We think this has potential to compete with lithium-ion batteries,” Wang said.
Zinc-air batteries typically have not been used for grid energy storage because of their chemical instability and relatively short lifecycle, the group said. But Wang said these batteries could be safer than lithium-ion cells because they incorporate nonflammable water and “open cell architecture,” rather than a closed structure. Wang said zinc also is less environmentally destructive to mine and produce compared with lithium.
Roberto Denti, operations director at Greece-based storage developer Systems Sunlight, told POWER that while most of the focus in energy storage “has been on the consumer automotive sector, there is significant opportunity for development in the industrial sector—more specifically, the renewable energy sector, to create safe, reliable, and sustainable batteries for heavy-duty applications such as energy storage for solar and wind farms. The opportunity also lies in other areas where industrial batteries are needed such as shipping, electric buses, and automated guided vehicles,” or AGVs, which is Sunlight’s market.
“By developing new technologies that will usher in a clean energy future, we will hopefully see a wide-scale adoption of energy storage applications, leading to a fully electrified industry,” Denti said.

In mid-December, a Vermont Health Connect user was logging in when the names of two strangers popped up in the newly created account.
The individual, who was trying to sign up for health insurance, deleted the information that had suddenly appeared.
“It was super unsettling to think that someone is filing in my account with my information,” the person, whose name is redacted in records, wrote in a complaint to the Department of Vermont Health Access. “Just seems like the whole thing needs a big overhaul.”
It was one of 10 instances between November and February when Vermont Health Connect users reported logging to find someone else’s information on their account.
The data breaches included names of other applicants and, in some cases, their children’s names, birth dates, citizenship information, annual income, health care plans, and once, the last four digits of a Social Security number, according to nearly 900 pages of public records obtained by VTDigger. On Dec. 22, the department’s staff shut down the site to try to diagnose the problem.
While officials say the glitches have been resolved, it’s the most recent mishap for a system that has historically been plagued by security and technical issues. The breaches could be even more widespread: Administrators of Vermont Health Connect can’t tell if other, similar breaches went unreported.
“We don’t know what we don’t know,” said Jon Rajewski, a managing director at the cybersecurity response company Stroz Friedberg. Regardless of whether there are legal ramifications for the incidents, they should be taken “very seriously,” he said.
“If my data was being stored on a website that was personal, — maybe it contains names or my Social Security number, like my status of insurance… — I would expect that website to secure it and keep it safe,” he said.
“I wouldn’t want someone else to access my personal information.”
Andrea De La Bruere, executive director of the Agency of Human Services, called the data breaches “unfortunate.” But she downplayed the severity of the issues. Between November and December, 75,000 people visited the Vermont Health Connect website for a total of 330,000 page views, she said. The 10 incidents? “It’s a very uncommon thing to have happen,” she said.
De La Bruere said the issue was fixed on Feb. 17, and users had reported no similar problems since. The information that was shared was not protected health information, she added, and the breaches didn’t violate the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA.
“No matter what the law says technically, whether it’s HIPAA-related or just one’s personal information, it’s really concerning,” said Health Care Advocate Mike Fisher.
The timing of the issue is less than ideal, he added. Thousands of Vermonters will be logging into Vermont Health Connect in the coming weeks to take advantage of discounts granted by the American Rescue Plan. “It’s super important that people can access the system, and that it’s safe and secure,” Fisher said.
A ‘major issue‘
The issues first arose on Nov, 12, when at least two Vermonters logged in and found information about another user, according to records obtained by VTDigger.
Department of Vermont Health Access workers flagged it as a “major issue” for their boss, Kristine Fortier, a business application support specialist for the department.
Similar incidents also occurred on Nov. 17 and 18, and later on multiple days in December.
Department of Vermont Health Access staff members appeared alarmed at the issues, and IT staff escalated the tickets to “URGENT.”
“YIKES,” wrote a staff member Brittney Richardson. While the people affected were notified, the data breaches were never made public.
State workers pressed OptumInsights, a national health care tech company that hosts and manages Vermont Health Connect, for answers. The state has contracted with the company since 2014. It has paid about $11 million a year for the past four years for maintenance and operations, with more added in “discretionary funds.”
Optum appeared unable to figure out the glitch. “It is hard to find root cause of issue,” wrote Yogi Singh, service delivery manager for Optum on Dec. 10. Optum representatives referred comments on the issues to the state.
By Dec. 14, Grant Steffens, IT manager for the department, raised the alarm. “I’m concerned on the growing number of these reports,” he wrote in an email to Optum.
The company halted the creation of new accounts on Dec, 14, and shut down the site entirely on Dec, 22 to install a temporary fix. “It’s a very complex interplay of many many pieces of software on the back end,” said Darin Prail, agency director of digital services. The complexity made it challenging to identify the problem, and to fix it without introducing any new issues, he said.
In spite of the fixes, a caller reported a similar incident on Jan. 13.
On Feb. 8, a mother logged in to find that she could see her daughter’s information. When she logged into her daughter’s account, the insurance information had been replaced by her own.
“Very weird,” the mother wrote in an emailed complaint.
Optum completed a permanent fix on Feb. 17, according to Prail. Vermont Health Connect has not had a problem since, he said.
Prail said the state had reported the issues to the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services as required, and had undergone a regular audit in February that had no findings. The state “persistently pressured Optum to determine the root cause and correct the issue expeditiously but at the same time, cautiously, so as to not introduce additional issues/problems,” he wrote in an email to VTDigger.
“We take reported issues like this very seriously,” he said.
A history of glitches
The state’s health exchange has been replete with problems, including significant security issues and privacy violations, since it was built in 2012 at a cost of $200 million.
The state fired its first contractor, CGI Technology Systems, in 2014. A subcontractor, Exeter, went out of business in 2015. Optum took over for CGI, and continued to provide maintenance and tech support for the system.
In 2018, when Vermont Health Connect was less than 6 years old, a report dubbed the exchange outdated and “obsolete.”
Officials reported similar privacy breaches in 2013, when Vermonters saw other people’s information.
An auditor’s report in 2016 found a slew of cybersecurity flaws, and officials raised concerns again during a 2018 email breach.
It wasn’t the first time that Vermont Health Connect users had been able to view other people’s personal information. Three times since October 2019, individuals had logged in to see another individual’s insurance documents. Prail attributed those incidents to human error, not to system glitch; a staff member uploaded documents to the wrong site, he said.
In spite of the issues, Prail said he and other state officials have been happy with Optum. After years of technical challenges with Vermont Health Connect, “Optum has really picked up the ball and improved it and been running it pretty well,” he said.
Glitches are inevitable, he added, and Optum has addressed them quickly. “They took a really difficult-to-manage site and made it work pretty well,” he said. “Optum is generally quite responsive to any issues we have.”
“I find any privacy breach to be concerning,” said Scott Carbee, chief information security officer for the state. He noted that the state uses “hundreds of software systems.” “While the scope of the breaches can be mitigated, true prevention is a difficult task,” he wrote in an email to VTDigger.
Optum spokesperson Gwen Moore Holliday referred comments to the state, but said the company was “honored” to work with Vermont Health Connect “to support the health care needs of Vermont residents.”
Prail said the Agency of Human Services had no plans to halt its contract with the company. “I don’t have a complaint about Optum,” he said. “They took a really difficult-to-manage site and made it work pretty well.”

providers like Open Door Community Health Clinics, Paso a Paso,
Promotores, the Humboldt County Office of Education and Public Health
that are dedicated to advocating for a healthier Latinx community in
Humboldt County.
The
meeting, Hoffman’s first public discussion with the providers,
focused on what can be done to address the disparities — which
exist both in COVID-19 case rates and vaccination efforts and mirror
statewide and national trends — in the county’s Latinx
population.
In
July, Humboldt County’s COVID-19 dashboard highlighted the
disproportionate COVID-19 case rates in the local Latinx and Hispanic
communities, noting they accounted for 22 percent of COVID-19 cases
while only making up 12 percent of the population. The disparity has
only grown since and as of April 9, Humboldt County Latinx residents
made up 25 percent of positive COVID-19 cases to date.
County
vaccine data, meanwhile, has seen a similar trend, with Latinx county
residents falling behind on receiving their COVID-19 shots. According
to the Public Health dashboard, only about 10 percent of Humboldt’s
Latinx and Hispanic population are fully vaccinated, compared to 19
percent of the general population.
“We
know that there is a disproportionate effect of COVID-19 in this
community and that’s why, from our standpoint in Public Health, and
also personally, as a physician taking care of this community for a
long time, it’s important that we address this,” Hoffman said.
Lara
Weiss, a Public Health deputy branch director who also attended
Friday’s meeting, said LatinoNet invited Hoffman to speak with the
group and offer an update on the pandemic and Public Health’s
efforts to provide equitable vaccine clinics. But Hoffman said the
meeting was also an opportunity for him to hear from the providers
about what barriers and gaps in care and outreach they were seeing.
Hoffman
began his presentation talking about his background working with
different Latinx communities in Santa Rosa and the Bay Area with
organizations like La Clinica de la Raza in Oakland and Kaiser
Permanente in San Francisco. He said he learned to give culturally
sensitive care to members of the Latinx, Spanish-speaking community,
which he said would transfer into a better understanding of how
Public Health approaches culturally competent health policies.
Hoffman
talked about Public Health’s rollout of COVID-19 vaccine clinics,
acknowledging the signup process has been confusing at times, with a
shortfall of vaccine doses, exceedingly high demand and eligibility
limitations. But Hoffman said Public Health’s goal is to ensure
vaccine equitability among those in the Latinx community and
guarantee that any Latinx resident seeking a COVID-19 vaccine feels
comfortable and confident before, during and after their appointment.
“We’ve
taken some steps at Public Health to make sure that when a
Spanish-speaking person needs a vaccine, that they feel comfortable
and confident that their needs will be met and, most importantly,
[provide] Spanish-language information,” Hoffman said.
Public
Health is working on a few new interventions, including sponsoring
California Department of Public Health’s “Let’s Get to
ImmUnity” integrated media campaign with both English and Spanish
ads on GFN channel 3, as well as planned mass vaccination
events in more rural areas of the county with the help from Open
Door.
And
now that eligibility is open to all residents age 16 and older,
Hoffman emphasized the importance of organizations serving the Latinx
community helping to spread information on the vaccine rollout and
the switch to the state’s My Turn website (www.myturn.ca.gov). But
the message Hoffman kept repeating was that the county’s Joint
Information Center (441-5000) is standing by and ready to take any
questions, including those in Spanish, about the vaccine and
vaccination clinics.
During
the meeting, however, it became clear there may be a disconnect
between county Public Health and service providers looking to direct
clients and patients to accurate information about COVID-19 and
vaccines in Spanish.
“I
continue to hear that there’s not clear and correct information in
Spanish that people know where to access,” LatinoNet board member
Michelle Postman said, alluding to a survey by Jorge Matias, another
LatinoNet board member, that found most Spanish-speaking local
residents didn’t know where to go for accurate COVID-19
information. “I feel like we try and we don’t think that we’re
doing that but we don’t know where the gap is, and I also know that
Public Health is really stretched, there’s only so much we can do,
and so I’m just curious if there’s one thing, one magical thing
that can happen. Would it be like showcasing Latin[x] leaders in the
community on commercials like, ‘Hey I’ve got my shot and this is
working,’ or would it be to have a website? What would be the
magical thing that you might spend time on to make things better if
we had the capacity?”
Postman’s
comments led to a discussion about the best way to get information to
the Spanish-speaking Latinx community, prompting Hoffman to stress
that the JIC is dedicated to putting out a clear, conscious message
in English and Spanish.
“All
of the materials on [the JIC website, social media pages] have been
vetted by Spanish speakers,” he said. “They’re scientifically
accurate. They try to meet the cultural sensitivity that we talked
about, as well. I would say that if we’re going to put anything out
there, that’s the central message.”
Hoffman
urged the groups at the meeting to use the resources on the Humboldt
Health alert website and promoted by the Joint Information Center and
push them out to the Spanish-speaking community. And if there’s one
phone number the groups get to their clients in the coming weeks, he
said it should be the JIC’s: 441-5000.
In
an email sent to the Journal,
Matias, in his
capacity as a LatinoNet board member, said his survey found most
Latinx and Hispanic residents didn’t feel they had clear and
correct information in Spanish about who can and can’t obtain the
COVID-19 vaccine and that they felt they didn’t have a specified
place to call to find more information in their language. Many,
Matias said, didn’t feel had enough information about how effective
vaccines are.
Many
people, Matias added, are afraid of costs, side effects and needing
more medical interventions due to possible side effects, while others
worry they aren’t eligible to receive the vaccine because of their
documentation status. But Hoffman confirmed during the meeting that
the only documentation those seeking a vaccine will need is any type
of form with a name that matches the name on the appointment or a
parental consent form for those 16 and 17 years old.
These,
Hoffman added, are the types of questions that could be answered by
the JIC.
The
county JIC has been actively translating information into Spanish,
including uploading social media posts in Spanish, but it seems they
have yet to amplify those messages to community providers and
advocacy groups in an effort to get that information to community
members who may not follow county social media accounts or can’t
navigate the county’s website.
Matias
also told the Journalthat there’s a lot of information that spreads through social media
that confuses Latinx and Hispanic residents, including misinformation
and conspiracy theories, which was addressed during the meeting
between LatinoNet and Hoffman.
If
Public Health hears of any misinformation or any disinformation
spreading throughout the community, Hoffman said it would address it
and correct it immediately. But he also cautioned there’s a balance
between correcting and amplifying.
Hoffman
then asked attendees about the types of misinformation they were
hearing and someone mentioned a conspiracy theory about the COVID-19
vaccine causing future fertility issues.
“That’s
one of the biggest pieces of misinformation that’s got a stronghold
in a lot of communities,” Hoffman said. “There’s absolutely no
evidence that this vaccine has any effect on fertility.”
Nationwide,
there have been reports of vaccine hesitancy in communities of color
because of historical acts of genocide in healthcare settings, which
was also mentioned by attendee Maria Ortega.
“I
feel like all of these organizations and clinics and community
organizations have a responsibility to be sensitive about that
(fertility) issue and not dismiss anybody, because they’re valid
concerns, especially historically and worldwide there’s been actual
efforts to change communities of color and their population impacts,”
Ortega said. “Just be mindful about where they’re coming
from.”
Hoffman
agreed with Ortega about being mindful and understanding of where
those concerns take root, noting the importance of recognizing the
impact of historical events and communities’ lived experiences in
providing culturally sensitive care.
“These
are difficult things to navigate exactly, and I think if those are
the barriers that we’re really seeing out there, they need to be
addressed, obviously,” Hoffman said. “But I’m not sure at this
point exactly what all the barriers are … My hope is that, mostly,
that gap is because of eligibility and lack of vaccine and that, as
we open it up more broadly like we are doing right now, and we have
that language ability … that we get those messages out there.”
The
reasons for the gaps in vaccine administration and infection rates
may become more clear as the county moves into the expanded phase of
its vaccination rollout but, presently, Hoffman urged providers and
their clients and patients to look to the JIC for Spanish-language
information about the COVID-19 virus and vaccines.
“Thank
you so much for inviting me and talking with me,” Hoffman said in
Spanish, wrapping up the meeting. “I hope that we can do this again
soon.”
