San Luis Obispo County is moving to a lottery-based system for vaccine appointments in preparation for the rollout of California's My Turn program, which centralizes COVID-19 vaccine distribution.
The county says the lottery process will be more fair and equitable than the previous system.
County Public Health Director Dr. Peggy Borenstein said, âYou register one time. You will remain in our system until you either withdraw or we get you an appointment.â
This means people do not have to keep calling or going online to find available appointments. However, guidelines state that only people who are eligible can sign up.
