Borenstein claims she doesn’t know why SLO County only got 900 doses, it’s your damn job lady to find out why and demand more doses. Once again proving Borenstein is worthless at her job.

Thank You for the information, but the article could be more investigative if it would mention the government cutting the SLO County allotment from 4000 doses/week in previous weeks to only 900 this and perhaps more weeks. Borenstein wasn’t happy with it. That’s a whopping Central Coast cut, over over three fourths, probably to fuel the new Dodger Stadium urban mega center. Urban wins, we locals lose life extending vaccinations over 75%. No amount of “equity” or whatever you call government picking who will live and who will die, justifies bringing our Central Coast vaccinations down to a screeching slow down.


Sansum Clinic is in similar starved supply and it’s medical director has emailed all patients last week that there is currently zero supply available to Sansum patients.
