Those 75 or older are now eligible to get the COVID-19 vaccine in San Luis Obispo County.
On Monday, 400 doses were administered in the City of San Luis Obispo. Another 400 vaccines were given to people in Paso Robles. I m 75 years old and I ve had some cancer so putting us up near the front of the list for that phase 1b was very fortunate for everybody in my age category, said Ron McEvoy of Arroyo Grande.
Last Friday morning, public health announced those 75 or older could receive the vaccine starting Monday.
