The San Luis Obispo County Public Health Department is now opening appointments for the COVID-19 vaccine 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 severe consequences from COVID-19.

Meetings for next week will open at 9 a.m. on Thursday, February 11. To make an appointment, visit www.Recoverslo.org/VaccineAppointments or call the county helpline at (805) 543-2444.

Health officials say appointments are limited due to the limited supply of vaccines.

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

Appointments for vaccines are also available in some pharmacies and in the French hospital medical center according to their own supplies. Click here for information on other local vaccine opportunities.
