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.
CHULA VISTA
A 45-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder early Thursday after he went to a Chula Vista hospital to check on a woman suffering from stab wounds who had been dropped off earlier, police said.
The victim, a 53-year-old woman, was dropped off at Scripps Mercy Hospital Chula Vista around 11 p.m. Wednesday after she had been repeatedly stabbed in her torso, said Chula Vista police Lt. Miriam Foxx. She was later moved to a trauma center and was listed in stable condition.
About two hours later, a man called the hospital to ask how the woman was doing. Around 1:30 a.m. Antonio Delacruz arrived at the hospital and was arrested by police, Foxx said.
