The county reported it has received more than 2.65 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccines. This number includes both county residents and those who work in the county.
County residents receiving one dose of the vaccine numbered 1,352,040, or 67% of county residents eligible to receive the vaccine. Those receiving two doses numbered 880,433, or 43.7% of San Diegans 16 and older.
The goal is to fully vaccinate 75% of San Diego County residents 16 and older, or 2,017,011 people.
Those who received the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which was approved for use by the FDA on Friday following a pause for a study of adverse reactions in a small number of recipients, are being added to the total of fully vaccinated San Diegans. The county is awaiting guidance from the California Department of Public Health on how to proceed with the J&J vaccine.
