Description
The COVID-19 vaccine had an efficacy of 80-90% against symptomatic and asymptomatic COVID-19 infections in those who have completed the primary series of the vaccine. The booster vaccine restored infection protection with an efficacy of 75-85%.
California marks the highest rate of homelessness in the nation which was influenced by the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic also caused 17 million Californians (44%) who live in rented homes to be at risk for eviction moratoriums and rental assistance. Those experiencing homelessness and housing instability are at higher risk of contracting severe COVID-19 due to prior medical conditions, poor health status, and lack of accessible protection.
Marin county faces issues in both homelessness/housing instability and booster vaccination rates as there was an 8.4% increase in homelessness since 2019, and a decrease in those with an updated booster (40%).
