COVID: More than one-third of California adults are fully vaccinated
Source: Mercury News
More than one-third of Californians 18 and older — 34.7 percent — are now fully vaccinated against COVID-19, a positive milestone in the effort to control the deadly virus in the state.
So far, 57.8 percent of Californian adults have received at least one vaccine dose, according to data from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Among residents 65 and older, immunization rates are even higher: 86.1 percent have received at least one dose and 64.4 percent are fully vaccinated.
California has administered roughly 27.4 million vaccine shots — 79.5 percent of the doses it has received — and is averaging 365,686 daily shots. The pace of vaccinations in the state has slowed down in recent days for the first time since they were rolled out, spurring calls from experts for more easily accessible vaccination options, as well as more education and outreach for people wary of the vaccines.
On Friday, a federal health panel recommended that health providers resume using the one-and-done vaccine developed by Johnson & Johnson, which had been linked to extremely rare cases of blood clots.

Nonetheless, Republicans are hoping that they cans steal a governorship by paying signature gatherers to force a low turnout recall election just a few months before the 2022 primaries in the hopes that most folks do not turnout to vote since the primaries are just a few months away. The key to Republican victory is to suppress the vote.
