On Tuesday, Ventura County expanded COVID-19 vaccine eligibility to residents ages 65 and older, while noting that appointments for vaccines are limited based on vaccine availability from the state. Also, a COVID-19 vaccination site at Nordhoff High School is anticipated to open Feb. 20, according to Ojai City Manager James Vega.
Previously, vaccine appointments were only available for residents 75 and older, as well as healthcare workers and others included in the county Phase 1A tier of vaccine eligibility.
Ventura County Health Care Agency Chief Deputy Director Barry Zimmerman updated the vaccine information at the county’s weekly press conference Wednesday: “To date, we have vaccinated some 32,000 75-year-olds and older seniors, which puts us almost to 60 percent of the total population estimated for that age group.”
