“I want to thank every San Diegan who has been vaccinated and the many partners working daily with the County to ensure vaccines are readily available in every part of our region,” said Wilma J.

The County has been working with its vaccination partners to get the word out to San Diegans who are hesitant about getting immunized.

To date, about 2.28 million or 81.4% of the 2.8 million San Diegans eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine have received a first dose and about 1.97 million or 70.3% are fully vaccinated.

The spike in cases drove the County to recommend mask-wearing indoors for all San Diegans regardless of vaccination status.

The County is helping medical providers contact all San Diegans who are partially vaccinated to get their second shot, especially now that COVID-19 cases have been going up, a spike driven primarily by the Delta variant.
