Coronavirus update, Aug. 2: Vaccine sites open as Stanislaus County numbers lag
Stanislaus County will have 17 vaccination sites available over the next seven days in a continued effort to stave off the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
As the rate of spread continues to rise with the arrival of the Delta variant, the county finds itself as one of the state’s laggards when it comes to the percentage of residents fully vaccinated.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, of the 50 California counties that have provided data on the total percentage of its fully vaccinated residents, just nine are worse than Stanislaus County’s 35.7%.
In addition, the CDC reports that Stanislaus County’s rate of transmission remains in the red, or “high” tier, along with several nearby counties.
The county’s case rate remained above 15.0 per 100,000 residents on Sunday, more than three times since mid-July.
The county did not update its coronavirus dashboard over the weekend when it comes to deaths and hospitalizations.
Other details:
