KCLU s Lance Orozco reports that Ventura County public health officials say they are geared up for mass vaccinations, but are currently only able to get about 5,000 doses of vaccine a week.
The big COVID-19 question many people have these days is “When can I get a shot?” The answer on the Central and South Coasts isn’t a simple one. No one has the answer right now.
Ventura County Public Health Officer Dr. Robert Levin says the issue isn’t organizing vaccination clinics. He says they have a plan. They just don t have enough vaccine.
They ve received about 60,000 doses of vaccine so far, which is enough to vaccine about 30,000 people. Levin says about 3% of the county s population has been vaccinated.

VENTURA, Calif. Ventura County testing sites have seen a huge increase of people coming to get tested following the Christmas holiday. However, on Monday, only one site was open throughout the county due to wet weather.
As it rained across Ventura County, hundreds of people stood in line at the Ventura County Fairgrounds testing site seeking results for COVID-19.
“She has a low grade fever and body aches so we wanted to be safe,” said Cynthia De La Torre who brought her family in to get tested.
People stood in line outside for up to an hour.
