Given the ongoing shortage of COVID-19 vaccine doses in the region, local vaccination sites are giving preference to second-time recruits.
Two unresolved issues are delaying the release of a new appointment for San Diego who want to get their first dose. One country has a shortage of moderne doses coming to the region for delayed transport a few weeks ago due to bad weather. The second is that the phaser doses that have arrived are used almost exclusively to vaccinate people who receive a second dose of the vaccine.
While some first-dose appointments for use by the county and its partners have been announced, they are reserved under state guidelines for groups such as law enforcement, teachers and other school staff.
“Our sites are working diligently to complete vaccinations for people who are in their second dose,” said Wilma Wooten, MPH of the county’s public health center. “When we go through the modern backlog, and more doses come in, including the new Johnson’s and Johnson’s vaccine, a first-dose appointment will be made for a lot of people who are both eager to get vaccinated.”
Progress of vaccination
Local vaccination sites are currently providing San Diego vaccines in Phase 1A and Phase 1B.
To date, approximately 1,070,000 COVID-19 doses have been delivered to the region with approximately 946,000 administrations. The difference between the two numbers represents what is expected for the next seven days and the dose still needs to be entered into the record system. About 7,400 doses were administered and are pending for complete documentation.
To date, about 290,000 people in San Diego have been vaccinated, while more than 22% of people over 16 years of age in San Diego have received at least one dose, representing about 595,000 people.
