SLO County is opening COVID-19 vaccines to people 65 and older

The San Luis Obispo Province Public Health Department is now opening vaccination appointments for COVID-19 to people 65 and older.

County health officials say the decision comes on the recommendation of the local Vaccine Task Force based on the current vaccine supply and the risk of serious consequences from COVID-19.

Appointments for next week start on Thursday, February 11 at 9:00 am. To schedule an appointment, visit www.Recoverslo.org/VaccineAppointments or call the County’s Phone Assistance Center at (805) 543-2444.

Health officials say the number of appointments is limited due to limited vaccine supplies.

The province expects to administer more than 6,100 first and second doses of the COVID-19 vaccine at next week’s clinics in San Luis Obispo, Paso Robles and Arroyo Grande.

Vaccine appointments are also available at select pharmacies and the French Hospital Medical Center if their own supply allows. Click here for information about other local vaccination options.
