The San Luis Obispo Department of Public Health is now opening appointments for the COVID-19 vaccine for people 65 and older.
County health officials say the decision comes at the recommendation of the local vaccine working group, based on the current vaccine supply and the risk of serious COVID-19 outcomes.
Schedules for next week will open at 9 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 11. To schedule an appointment, visit www.Recoverslo.org/VaccineAppointments or call the County Call Center at (805) 543-2444.
Health officials say appointments are limited due to limited vaccine reserves.
The county expects to administer more than 6,100 first and second doses of COVID-19 vaccine at next week’s clinics in San Luis Obispo, Paso Robles and Arroyo Grande.
Vaccine schedules are also available at certain pharmacies and at the French Hospital Medical Center, as their own consumables allow. Click here for information on other local vaccination opportunities.
