While the COVID-19 vaccine supply has been limited in Santa Barbara County and statewide, larger amounts of vaccine doses have started to make their way to the county.
The county received a 22% increase in first doses compared to last week’s allocation, Public Health Director Van Do-Reynoso said at Tuesday’s Board of Supervisors meeting.
As of Tuesday, the county has been allocated and received 99,220 doses of the vaccine, according to the county s Community Data Dashboard.
Do-Reynoso said Sunday that the county is receiving about 14,000 doses this week, which is a big boost from the 6,000-per-week amount the county was reporting in January and part of February.

A California judge has upheld the state s emergency regulations for employers to curb the spread of the coronavirus. A San Francisco judge upheld California s emergency workplace standards to curb the spread of COVID-19.
Farm groups including the California Farm Bureau Federation, the California Association of Winegrape Growers and Western Growers expressed disappointment after a San Francisco judge on Feb. 25 upheld California s emergency workplace standards to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
As the Sacramento Bee reports, the ruling heads off a challenge to the regulations by small business and trade groups that argued the state s rules are too burdensome. The state s Division of Occupational Safety and Health, or CalOSHA, requires employers to regularly test workers during outbreaks and pay them while in quarantine.
