COVID-19 San Diego County Update – 13-04-2021

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

Nearly 2.28 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered in the region and approximately 2.2 million have been reported when administered. This number includes both county residents and those working in San Diego County.
Of those vaccinated to date, more than 745,000 county residents, or 27.7% of San Diego residents age 16 and older, are fully immunized.
Overall, nearly 1.2 million county residents have received at least one shot of the two-dose vaccine. It is 44.3% of those eligible.
Those who received the Johnson & Johnson dose vaccine, which is currently suspended in the county due to the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration, are added to the total of San Diego completely vaccinated.
The difference between the doses administered and those used in a vaccination represents approximately what is expected to be administered in the next seven days and the doses that are yet to be entered into the registration system.
You can find more information about vaccine distribution on the county vaccine board. For information on currently eligible groups and vaccination opportunities, visit www.vaccinationsuperstation.com.

The adjusted case rate calculated by the state of San Diego County is currently 6.0 cases per 100,000 residents (as of April 13) and this data point places the region at the red or level 2 level. (The county remains at the Orange or T3 level immediately below state guidelines.)
The California Department of Public Health recently warned that unless there are mitigating circumstances, such as a low vaccine rate, a county will only move to a more restrictive level if hospitalizations increase significantly among vulnerable people, especially between vaccinated people, and both tests. positivity and adjusted case rates show a significant increase in transmission. This is not currently the case in the region and the county remains at the Orange or Tier 3 level.
Currently, the test positive percentage is 2.5%, placing the county at level 3 or Orange level.
