Teachers who will be in classrooms this school year are now eligible to receive coronavirus vaccines in San Bernardino County, but they’ll get them from school districts, so appointments at vaccine clinics will go to seniors, the county announced Wednesday (February 3). The county also said that this week it will open several weeks’ worth of vaccination appointments for senior citizens and announce plans to open more community vaccination centers. A mobile vaccination program to serve seniors close to their homes is also coming, a county news release stated. It is part of a new focus on getting as many seniors vaccinated as possible. The county had been focusing on seniors as well as first responders but learned this week that all police officers and firefighters working in the county who want to be vaccinated have been provided with vaccination opportunities. When available, vaccine appointments can be made at https://sbcovid19.com/vaccine/. People can also sign up at the site for notifications when appointment become available.
