Here's when other sectors included in the Phase 1B category can expect to start getting vaccinated - KSBY San Luis Obispo News

Santa Barbara County Public Health officials announced Friday afternoon that they will open up vaccination appointments to workers in education and childcare, agriculture and food, and emergency services starting March 1.

San Luis Obispo County Public Health officials say more than 22,000 people have been vaccinated in the county so far, with nearly a quarter of them already receiving their second dose.

"For a large county, typically, they have more multi-county hospital systems which get their additional vaccines, they have - perhaps because of their large population and demographics - they receive direct federal partnerships via CVS and Rite-Aids, so it really all boils down to the number of vaccines and the sources that exist in that county," said Van Do-Reynoso, Santa Barbara County Public Health Director.
