Marin County recorded its first COVID-19 death since April. The victim was over 65 years old and unvaccinated.
MARIN CITY, Calif. - Marin County is reporting its first COVID-19 death in a month.
The patient was older than 65, active and otherwise healthy, but unvaccinated. We chose to tell that story because it s an example that this outcome is avoidable with vaccines, said Public Health Officer Matt Willis. They are 95 percent effective at preventing illness and almost 100 percent at preventing death so we see this as a preventable death.
