San Diego County has today expanded the eligibility category to include those over 65.
“As I pointed out a few weeks ago, the county planned to expand eligibility to people 65 and older the week of Jan. 25 as part of the continued focus on those most at risk,” said Wilma J. Wooten, MD, MPH, County Public Health Officer. “With a number of health care providers vaccinating in the age group and the UC San Diego Super Health Station has a surplus of appointments, the decision was made this afternoon. Appointments still need to be made and vaccines are available depending on the supply. ”
