Vaccine Registration Information
The County of Ventura is currently in Phase 1A, Tier 1 of vaccine distribution. Public Health has been working directly with the sectors for registration.
Once the County moves through each phase registration will open in additional phases. There are points of distribution that have been created for the vaccine and thousands have been vaccinated over the last three weeks.
We will begin to report vaccine data with our COVID data to keep you informed on progress. We are actively advocating for additional vaccines from the State.
The current phase includes:
Acute care hospital staff who have patient contact will receive first allocations without regard to status in the medical hierarchy (staff includes all workers that work in the individual unit: janitors, housekeepers, maintenance, security, ward clerks, nurses, physicians, techs, respiratory therapists, lab techs, etc.):
