More than 2.39 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been delivered in the region, and nearly 2.32 million have been recorded as administered. This number includes residents of the state as well as those who work in San Diego County.

Overall, more than 1.29 million residents in the province received at least one uptake of the two-dose vaccine. This is 48.1% of those who are eligible.
The goal is to vaccinate fully 75% of San Diego County residents, 16 years and older, or 2,017,011 people. To date, 64.1% of the target population have received at least one vaccine and 40.7% have been fully vaccinated.
Those who received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which is currently suspended in the province due to leadership of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration, the total vaccinated San Diegans is added.

The state-of-the-art, adjusted case rate of San Diego County is currently 6.0 cases per 100,000 residents (as of April 13).
The county remains in the Orange Tier or Tier 3 under the new leadership of the state. The California Department of Public Health recently advised that unless there are mitigating conditions, such as the low level of vaccine intake, a country will only move to a more limited level if hospitalizations increase significantly among vulnerable individuals, especially among vaccinated individuals, and both test. positivity and adjusted cases show an increase in transfer. This is currently not the case in the region.
Currently, the test positivity percentage is 2.5%, which places the county in level 3 or the orange level.
