COVID-19 Vaccinations Opening to Teachers, Law Enforcement, and Food Workers
The County of San Diego announced on February 24 that COVID-19 vaccinations will open Saturday, February 27, to people who work in emergency services, child care and education, and food and agriculture (including grocery stores). Vaccine eligibility is being opened to more people in Phase 1B, Tier 1 as vaccine supplies have increased and more progress is made in vaccinating those currently eligible.
The San Diego County Office of Education and the California Schools VEBA will exclusively schedule appointments for transitional kindergarten (TK) through 12th grade teachers and staff through vebavaccinates.com. The priority will be schools open and planning to open, and then those closed, starting with those in the fourth quartile of the California Healthy Places Index (HPI).
Appointments exclusive to the law enforcement community will be organized by Scripps Health.
For farm workers in fields and rural locations, CAL FIRE and Operation Collaboration will lead efforts to schedule remote vaccination events.
All others eligible in the these groups can sign up for appointments through vaccinationsuperstationsd.com. However, patience is advised as the newly opened tier includes half a million people. Not everyone will be able to get an immediate appointment, but more time slots will open as additional vaccines arrive. View the County news article for more information.
More information about COVID-19 vaccination sites and how to schedule an appointment, including how to schedule a second dose, can be found at the COVID-19 Vaccination Sites & Appointments webpage. Individuals who are 65 years of age and older who do not have internet access may call 2-1-1 for assistance in scheduling an appointment.
