How Many People Have Been Vaccinated in Santa Barbara County So Far?
The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department has not reported an exact number, but it reported 39,700 first doses as of Feb. 2.
Several thousand more people have been vaccinated through the federal pharmacy program for skilled-nursing and assisted-living residents, and through Marian Regional Medical Center's program through Dignity Health (which had about 13,000 doses so far).
Do-Reynoso said Tuesday that about 64% of residents age 75-plus have been vaccinated, which would be about 20,800 people based on population estimates.
Do-Reynoso said she expects “the pie chart will shift to reflect the diversity in our workforce” as larger groups become eligible for vaccinations.
