Nearly 2.2 million COVID-19 vaccine doses have been delivered in the region and about 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 652,000 residents of the county, or 24.3% of San Diegans ages 16 and older, have been fully immunized.
In total, nearly 1.12 million residents of the county have received at least one injection of the two-dose vaccine. That’s 41.7% of those who qualify.
