SAN DIEGO (KGTV) – San Diego County officials announced Monday that COVID-19 vaccines will now be available to those over 75 years of age.
Citing “a slowdown in appointments at COVID-19 vaccination sites,” the county confirmed that a change was made to the eligibility requirement.
Dr. Wilma Wooten, the county’s public health official, said: “Today we took this action to add people aged 75 and over because they are at the highest risk. It is still our intention to extend vaccines to people over the age of 65 in the week of January 25, depending on the availability of vaccines. “
The extended requirements will be carried out at the downtown San Diego vaccine “super station” and elsewhere in the county where coronavirus vaccines are being administered.
Healthcare workers (phase 1A / All levels) and San Diegans aged 75 or over (phase 1B, level 1) can make appointments to receive vaccines and are the only groups that can visit a vaccination site.
