COVID-19 and the flu continue to circulate through San Diego's population in high numbers, and county public health officials Friday urged residents to get vaccinated for the holidays.
Vaccinations for both illnesses are widely available at local pharmacies and medical providers. The county will also be offering shots throughout the holidays at its vaccination sites, a map of which can be found on the county's website.
"Many San Diegans have taken advantage of the ability to get vaccinated," said Dr. Wilma Wooten, county public health officer."But we can still vaccinate and protect more people. Wooten reminded San Diegans to take caution over the holidays during indoor gatherings, including masking, washing hands often, staying home when sick and home testing.
According to a county Health and Human Services report, 80.5% of eligible San Diegans have received their two-shot primary vaccinations, 60.8% have received the primary vaccinations and a booster. They also report that 20% of all eligible San Diego residents 5 years and older have received the new bivalent booster. In addition, 40% of people 65 years of age and older have received the new bivalent booster.
