Department of Public Health

The Board of Supervisors announced that all San Bernardino County residents ages 65 and over are now eligible to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

Vaccine supplies from the State are limited, so appointments are scarce. County residents 65 and over can make appointments through sbcovid19.com/vaccine. Seniors can also sign up for email and text notifications to receive alerts about vaccination opportunities and other vaccination news through the “65+ Vaccine Notification Sign Up” link at sbcovid19.com/vaccine.
