Due to the slowdown in COVID-19 vaccination appointments, San Diego County has today expanded its eligibility to include those age 75 and older.
“We took this action today to add people aged 75 and over because they are at greatest risk,” said Wilma J. Wooten, MD, MPH, a county public health officer. It remains our intention to extend the vaccines to people aged 65 and over in the week of January 25, depending on the availability of the vaccine.
These new requirements apply to the Petco Park vaccination station and other distribution points that supply the county vaccine. More information is at coronavirus-sd.com/vaccine, and reservations can be made at vaccinationsuperstationsd.com.
Only health workers (phase 1A, all levels) and those over the age of 75 (phase 1B, level 1) can visit the vaccination sites.
- Healthcare workers are encouraged to contact their doctor or health care providers first to request the vaccine, but if they are not available, then they should make an appointment for a site in the county.
- Meetings are needed; walk-ups and unscheduled drive-ups will be rejected.
- Do not schedule an appointment if you have COVID-19 or are ill. Please follow the CDC’s instructions for these situations
