PLANNED VACCINE LOCATION IN CAMARILLO
Ventura County has plans to open more locations for vaccines, but opening more locations is entirely dependent on supply. The County currently has the capacity to administer 3,000 to 4,000 doses per day, but the County is not getting enough vaccines from the State in order to make this happen; they are only receiving 9,000 - 10,000 doses per week, on average.
Once the County does receive more supply, a vaccination location is planned at the Ventura County Office of Education, in Camarillo. The launch date for this site is dependent on the supply of vaccines. For all information on vaccines, please visit venturacountyrecovers.org.

Commonly asked questions from our community members:
VACCINE AVAILABILITY
The County of Ventura receives 9,000 - 10,000 vaccines, on average, weekly from the State. Once vaccines are received, the County creates appointments for those vaccines to be distributed. Due to the extremely limited supply of vaccine, appointments are based on current supply and will only be expanded once additional vaccine is received.
There are roughly 110,000 people in the 65-74 age range in need of the vaccine. The next phase (Phase 1B) has not yet opened because of the limited supply. There are still people 75 and older in need of vaccines.

SECOND DOSE
Second dose notifications will begin to go out this week. Community members who have met their wait period requirement will receive a reminder to schedule their second appointment. The notification will be sent to the contact information provided for the first appointment.
