Vaccine numbers
California continues to vaccinate more people each day; however, most people over the age of 16 in California have still yet to be vaccinated.
Experts say at least 70% of the population needs to be vaccinated to reach some form of herd immunity which could help suppress the coronavirus's spread.
According to the California Department of Public Health's numbers, Sierra, Placer and Yolo counties have higher percentages of people who are fully vaccinated within the Sacramento region.
California released its data showing that its vaccination efforts hadn't been quite equitable in the vaccination of people of color who were impacted heavily by the coronavirus and in need of the vaccine's protection.
The state is currently administering an average of more than 300,000 vaccine doses a day while the supply of Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson doses continues to grow.
Coronavirus numbers
California saw a steady decline in new cases and deaths reported since February, following a surge of cases and deaths related to holiday gatherings. The number of tests performed in the state has also lowered to where it was before the holidays.
California had high hospitalization rates in the winter of 2020 with equally high ICU admissions. The rate of hospitalization in California has since lowered, and more ICU beds are available.
When comparing counties in the Sacramento region by their active case rate per 100,000 residents, Nevada and San Joaquin counties have the highest rates based on county health departments' data as of June 4.
For people wondering how many people are surviving, all Sacramento region counties currently have a survival rate of at least 90%. Still, these rates are subject to change as the pandemic continues.
