County surpasses 1 million COVID-19 vaccinations News

The County Health and Human Services Agency reported today that more than a million doses of the Covid-19 vaccine have been given in the region.

To date, more than 1,000,000,000 people have been vaccinated, or about 12 percent in San Diego and more. A total of 619,924 people, or 23.1 percent, received at least one dose of the two-dose method.

County Public Health Officer MPH, MPH, Wilma J. “We’re making great progress in vaccinating San Diego, but it’s too early to give our guard a leave of absence,” Wooten said. “Nutritional immunity does not occur until at least 70 percent of the population 16 and older is fully vaccinated and we have a way to go before we can get back to what we missed.”

Vaccination efforts in the region are slowed down by a shortage of vaccine supplies, with many places in the region having to wait for vaccinations.

The following sites will be suspended until Monday: Lemon Grove Community Center, Central Region Immunization Clinic in Logan Heights, Kopli-Price YMCA in City Heights, Martin Luther King Community Center in National City, Bordeaux in Otai Mesa and Bordeaux. The North Coast Live Well Center in Oceanside is closed but will open Monday for a second dose. Additional information about the temporary closure of vaccination sites can be accessed here.
