Gov. Newsom visits vaccination sites in SLO, Ventura counties

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. - Governor Gavin Newsom visited San Luis Obispo and Ventura counties Tuesday.

The governor visited vaccination sites in both counties following an earlier visit at an elementary school in Santa Clara County.

The purpose of the visits was to "highlight the state’s efforts to ramp up vaccinations," the governor's press office said.

California has now administered 9.3 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines. That number is expected to ramp up again once California receives the newly-approved Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

Gov. Newsom appeared at the Cuesta College vaccination site in San Luis Obispo County around 3:30 p.m.

He then traveled to Ventura County where he visited the vaccination site at the Ventura County Office of Education.

Both visits were streamed on our website.
