Nearly 2 million COVID-19 vaccine doses have been delivered to the region*, and nearly 1.85 million have been logged as administered.
*This number includes both County residents and those who work in San Diego County.
Of those vaccinated to date, over 611,000 County residents, or 22.7% of San Diegans 16 and older, are fully immunized.
Overall, more than 1 million County residents have received at least one shot of the two-dose vaccine. That’s 38.5% of those eligible.
Those receiving the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine are being added to the total of fully vaccinated San Diegans.
The difference between doses delivered and those used in a vaccination represents approximately what is expected to be administered in the next seven days and doses still to be entered in the record system.

San Diego County’s state-calculated, adjusted case rate is currently 4.9 cases per 100,000 residents. The County is in the Red Tier.
Currently, the testing positivity percentage is 2.1%, placing the County in Tier 3 or the Orange Tier. The County’s health equity metric, which looks at the testing positivity for areas with the lowest healthy conditions, is 2.7% and is also in the Orange Tier or Tier 3. While two of the three metrics qualify the County for the Orange Tier or Tier 3, the state assigns counties to the more restrictive tier.
