After three months of vaccination across the U.S., a majority of American adults have gotten shots, and the effort will soon shift from mass inoculation to mop-up. As of Saturday, 138.6 million people in the U.S. have received at least one Covid-19 vaccine shot. About 1.3 million more are getting a first dose every day, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While the rate of new vaccinators is declining, even if were immediately cut in half, it would mean that six weeks from now more than half of the population
of the U.S. and its territories will have had a dose. Almost all of those who get a first dose are likely to their second, according to one CDC study. On top of that, more than 80% of people age 60 or over – the most vulnerable group – have had a dose and will likewise complete vaccination. That may be sufficient, at least to see a significant impact on U.S. caseloads. The U.S. is currently about where Israel’s vaccine campaign was in mid-February, three weeks before cases there began to plunge. Israel has, in total, vaccinated just under 60% of its population.

SUISUN CITY — The city should have its first cannabis dispensary, distribution and delivery business by the end of July. It will be one of the 13 stores belonging to the Shryne Group, whose co-founder and chief executive officer Brian Mitchell spent some of his youth in Fairfield and returned in 2013. Mitchell’s father was in the U.S. Air Force when they arrived here in 1988. He attended Holy Spirit School, played Little League and was a junior golfer, to name a few of his community activities. “I have a lot of memories from Fairfield,” he said. When his parents split, he went with his mother to the Bay Area and finished high school before attending the University of California, Davis. See Dispensary, Page A7

Colorado bans high-capacity magazines, but they’re available C O L O R A D O SPRINGS, Colo. — In a news conference last week, Boulder County Dist r ict At tor ney Michael Dougherty said he believes high-capacity gun magazines used in March’s supermarket attack were sold legally. But in 2013, follow-
ing the Aurora theater massacre, Colorado’s legislature banned magazines holding more than 15 rounds. And charges against the Boulder suspect include 10 counts of using a prohibited highcapacity magazine while committing a felony. So how might the suspect have gotten a hold of the 10 prohib-
ited magazines the DA said investigators found on him or in his car? A handful of possible ways, it turns out. Colorado’s law bans the sale, transfer and possession of magazines holding more than 15 rounds It went into effect on July 1, 2013. Known as House Bill 13-1224 while it worked its way through
