SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CA Santa Clara County vaccinated its millionth resident for COVID-19 on Friday, with officials holding a news briefing to celebrate the milestone even as they acknowledged there is work to be done in ensuring the rest of the eligible population is inoculated.
Of the 1.6 million eligible residents in the county, 62 percent have received at least one dose and about a third are fully vaccinated. In contrast to just a few weeks ago, when vaccine supply was lacking and appointments were quickly snatched up, every vaccination site from mass vaccination centers like Levi s Stadium to smaller clinics in the county had slots available as of Friday morning.
