SAN DIEGO (KGTV) – San Diego County authorities announced on Monday that COVID-19 vaccines will now be available to people aged 75 and over.
Citing “a slowdown in consultations at the COVID-19 vaccination sites”, the county confirmed that a change was made to the eligibility requirement.
County public health officer, Dr. Wilma Wooten, said: “We are taking this step today to add individuals 75 years of age or older, because they are at the greatest risk. It remains our intention to expand vaccines to people aged 65 and over in the week of January 25, depending on the availability of the vaccine. “
The expanded requirements will be in place at the vaccine “super station” in downtown San Diego and elsewhere in the county where coronavirus vaccines are being administered.
Healthcare professionals (Phase 1A / All levels) and San Diegans aged 75 and over (Phase 1B, Level 1) can make appointments to receive vaccines and are the only groups who can visit a vaccination site.
