1:30 About 40,000 more people in San Luis Obispo County can sign up for the COVID-19 vaccine now that eligibility has extended to new categories. Workers in the food and agriculture industry, emergency services and unpaid caregivers of those with high-risk medical conditions are now eligible. SLO County is also making the vaccine available to anyone 16 years or older with severe medical conditions or high-risk disabilities. The COVID-19 vaccine task force also announced all higher education employees as well as student employees can register for a vaccine appointment. County Health Officer Penny Borenstein said this expansion is possible due to a drop in demand among those 65 years and older.
