Letter to the Editor: How many are vaccinated?

The county is requiring masks until 70 percent of eligible residents are vaccinated or the rates drop dramatically. What is the current rate of vaccination in our county?  How is this determined?  I know many of us received vaccinations outside the county.  Should we contact county health so they can include our vaccinations in their vaccination rate?

Editor’s Note: According to Public Health Director Dana Loomis, it’s 55 percent with at least one does and 50 percent fully vaccinated.  Those data come from the state immunization registry. Vaccinations administered anywhere in California are included, but vaccinations outside the state are not.
