In addition to 7,008 new cases, the county reported five deaths on Thursday, increasing the cumulative totals to 775,369 infections and 5,282 deaths.
These are only the cases reported to county or hospital sites. As the proliferation of at-home tests has increased, the actual number of infections is likely a considerably higher number.
"Some parents have been anxiously waiting to give their children extra protection against COVID-19 and the shots may be finally approved," said Dr. Wilma J. Wooten, San Diego County Public Health Officer."COVID-19 boosters for everyone who is eligible are easy to get because we have plenty of vaccine available in the region."
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,"MIS-C is a rare, but serious, postinfectious hyperinflammatory condition occurring about 2 to 6 weeks after infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus." More than 2.96 million or 94% of San Diegans age 5 and older are at least partially vaccinated, while more than 2.62 million or 83.3% are fully vaccinated. A total of 1,323,824 or 58.5% of 2,264,730 eligible San Diegans have received a booster shot.
