Barely half of Fresno County is vaccinated for COVID. Is a holiday surge on the way?
It took 10 months from the time when the first coronavirus vaccinations became available for Fresno County to get at least half of its residents fully vaccinated.
As of Wednesday, more than 518,000 people were fully vaccinated against COVID-19 out of the county’s overall population of about 1,032,000. Those are people who have received either both shots of the two-dose vaccines from Pfizer BioNTech or Moderna, or a single dose of the one-shot product from Janssen/Johnson & Johnson.
Almost 65,000 more residents are partially vaccinated with one dose of one of the two-shot vaccines.
There remain, however, more than 449,000 people in Fresno County – about 43.5% – who are completely unvaccinated, yet to receive even one shot of one of the medications. And the number of people still unprotected against the virus could spell trouble coming into the winter holiday season of expected family and public gatherings.
