Marin County is closing in on nearly 100% vaccination for COVID-19.
According to the latest update from the Marin County Health Department the number of Marin residents aged 5+ who have received at least one COVID-19 vaccination stands at 98%.
Marin residents 5+ who have completed the vaccination doses are 92%.
As of Friday, April 1, two people were reported hospitalized with COVID-19 in Marin. There were zero patients in ICU with COVID-19. Throughout the pandemic, Marin County has been way ahead of the California and national curve in COVID-19 vaccinations and mitigation efforts.
The Marin Health Department made several adjustments to the way it reports numbers as of April 1.
“We know how important it is for our residents to have access to, and understand, the latest reliable data regarding COVID-19 in our communities. That’s why our epidemiologists are frequently reconciling and evaluating how data is presented. Over the past few days, the team has made some changes to our surveillance page,” public health officer Dr. Matt Willis is in the update.
Among the changes include how the department reports changes in daily infections and death rates. There is a lag in reporting that requires fine tuning to make the reports more reliable.
The changes in daily number of cases, hospitalizations and deaths are still available on respective dashboards for any date rate of interest, the department said in Friday’s update.
As of Friday, Marin has logged 30,621 cases of COVID-19. The number of death attributed to COVID-19 in Marin stands at 242.
The Friday report noted that “Due to the recent surge in cases and the associated processing needed, recent deaths (ranging from January to March 2022) required more time to review. Therefore, the death count under the COVID-19 Case Disposition dashboard and “Total Deaths” in key Indicators were underreported until March 25th, 2022. Marin HHS finished reviewing and processing these most recent deaths. The death totals on the dashboard are now up to date as of March 25th, 2022.”
The number of Californians who have died of COVID-19 stands at 88,207 as of the April 1 report.
