San Diego County COVID-19 Update – 4/13/2021

Here is today’s COVID-19 update from the County Health and Human Services Agency with data through April 12.

Nearly 2.28 million COVID-19 vaccine doses have been delivered in the region and about 2.2 million have been recorded as being administered. This number includes county residents as well as those who work in San Diego County.
Of those vaccinated so far, more than 745,000 residents of the county, or 27.7% of San Diegans ages 16 and older, have been fully immunized.
In all, nearly 1.2 million County residents have received at least one injection of the two-dose vaccine. That is 44.3% of the eligible persons.
Those who received the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which is currently on hold in the County due to guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Food and Drug Administration, will be added to the total of fully vaccinated San Diegans.
The difference between the doses administered and the doses used in a vaccination roughly represents what is expected to be administered in the next seven days and the doses still to be entered into the registration system.
More information on vaccine distribution can be found on the County’s vaccination dashboard. For details on currently eligible groups and vaccination options, please visit www.vaccinatiesuperstation.com.

The state-calculated, adjusted number of San Diego County cases is currently 6.0 cases per 100,000 residents (as of April 13) and this data point places the region in the red level or level 2 (the district remains in the orange level or level 2). T3 under the immediately following state guidance.)
The California Department of Public Health recently announced that unless there are extenuating circumstances, such as a slow vaccination rate, a county will move to a more restrictive level only if the number of hospital admissions increases significantly among vulnerable individuals, especially vaccinated individuals, and both test positivity and adjusted case rates show a worrying increase in transmission. This is not currently the case in the region and the County remains in the Orange Level or Level 3.
Currently, the test positivity rate is 2.5%, placing the County in Tier 3 or the Orange Tier.
The County’s health equity measure, which looks at the test positivity for areas with the lowest healthy conditions, is 3.0% and is also in the Orange Tier or Tier 3.
CDPH reviews counties on a weekly basis. The next report is scheduled for Tuesday, April 20.
