COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution for San Luis Obispo County Agriculture |
San Luis Obispo County Farm Bureau - COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution Survey for Agriculture Employers
San Luis Obispo County Farm Bureau represents the agriculture industry on the County's COVID-19 Vaccine Task Force. We are collecting information from local farmers, ranchers, wineries and other agricultural businesses to help guide the County's distribution of the COVID-19 Vaccine.
Preliminary data was shared with the County earlier in January, but employers are still encouraged to complete the survey through February and March 2021 so we can help coordinate vaccine delivery for the agricultural industry as the County proceeds into the 1B category.

- The County is moving as quickly as possible to cover the 1A group of frontline healthcare workers and people in long term care facilities.
- Agriculture will be eligible for the vaccine as part of 1B. The exact timeline is not known, but we are trying to be prepared for vaccine distribution to agriculture to possibly begin in the Spring of 2021.
For questions, please contact SLO County Farm Bureau Executive Director Brent Burchett at bburchett@slofarmbureau.org or 805-543-3654. You can also learn more at SLO County Public Health's COVID-19 Vaccine website.
- Please note: participation in this survey is not a guarantee of eligibility to receive a vaccine on a certain date or as part of the 1B category. Information submitted here will be provided to the County to assist in delivering the vaccine.
