Hundreds of police officers in San Diego County rolled up their sleeves to get COVID-19 vaccines before they were officially eligible under loosely coordinated efforts that matched unused shots with those who wanted protection against the coronavirus.
For weeks, police agencies directed officers interested in getting the shots to vaccine sites, including hospitals and a community college, where they were given leftover doses after scheduled appointments were completed. One North County hospital determined police officers were eligible because they transported behavioral health patients.
Vaccine providers are allowed to administer shots to people outside eligible tiers under county and state guidelines that seek to ensure no doses are wasted.
