Contra Costa County surpassed 1 million COVID-19 vaccine doses administered Saturday, meeting the county's goal more than a month ahead of the May 31 deadline.
About 421,000 people in Contra Costa County have been fully vaccinated, according to the county's COVID-19 dashboard. That's 45.5% of the county's population ages 16 and older.
County officials announced in January the goal of administering 1 million vaccine doses by the Fourth of July. At that time, more than 65,000 vaccine doses had been administered countywide.
After receiving an abundance of vaccine doses, county officials moved up the 1 million vaccination deadline to Memorial Day.
As of Saturday, the county has administered 1,010,267 doses and is frequently eclipsing 15,000 doses administered daily on weekdays.
