The milestone comes as officials urge more residents to get the shots, part of the effort to ward off a feared coronavirus resurgence this winter.
The picture is rosier still when looking just at those who can currently get the shots. Closer to 75% of eligible Californians, those ages 5 and up, are now at least partially vaccinated., have already received their first dose.However, there’s still work to do. While 70.2% of all Californians — more than 27 million people — have received at least one shot, only 63.2% have completed their inoculation series.
Getting that second shot, experts say, is critical to ensure someone receives the maximum possible protection. “The single most important thing that we can do as a community to reduce our risk for another winter surge is to decrease our numbers of unvaccinated people,” Los Angeles County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said during a recent briefing.Health officials are urging the vast majority of adults to get a booster shot as soon as possible.
Ten of California’s 58 counties have partially vaccinated more than 75% of their residents, Times’ data show. In nine others, however, less than half of residents have received at least one shot.from the California Department of Public Health, unvaccinated individuals are roughly seven times more likely to get COVID-19, 10 times likelier to be hospitalized and 17 times more likely to die from the disease than those who have been fully vaccinated.
