The county has received 3,568,195 doses of coronavirus vaccines and has administered 3,186,803 of them.

A total of 1,735,615 people have received one dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, 86% of the way toward reaching the county's goal of vaccinating 75% of San Diego County residents 16 and older, or 2,017,011 people.
