Riverside County could reach herd immunity by mid-June, public health officer says
Riverside County could reach herd immunity by mid-June if residents take advantage of vaccines, according to Public Health Officer Dr. Geoffrey Leung, who said this is possible despite the announcement Tuesday that the state will temporarily suspend use of the Johnson & Johnson shot.
California has set June 15 as its goal to end the four-tiered, color-coded Blueprint for a Safer Economy, allowing for more businesses and activities to reopen with fewer restrictions. Ideally we d like to reach herd immunity before that time, Leung said during a Board of Supervisors meeting Tuesday. We do believe we have the capacity and the vaccine supply to be able to do that.
The recommendation came “out of an abundance of caution” following reports of blood clots in six women ages 18 to 48 who received the vaccine. The symptoms occurred six to 13 days after vaccination one woman died and one has been hospitalized in critical condition.
Riverside County residents scheduled to receive the one-shot vaccine this week at public health and mobile clinic sites will be offered alternative options, Public Health Officer Dr. Geoffrey Leung said during the Board of Supervisors meeting Tuesday morning. We apologize for the inconvenience but safety is our top priority, Leung said, adding that he s hoping the pause will take days, not weeks.
