Marin County's health officer said the county is on track to reach an important milestone in just two months: vaccinating all adults against COVID-19.
There has been a reduction in coronavirus cases in the county since mid-January.
"In Marin we saw a slight increase in the number of cases last week, compared to the week before, which raises concerns about the potential increase," Marin County Health Officer Dr. Matt Willis cautioned.
He said on KCBS Radio’s "Ask An Expert" that they are not viewing it like the CDC director, who mentioned impending doom, but said vigilance is required.
The county is making progress on vaccinations and each day the community is better protected, Willis noted.
"In Marin, last week, there were two cases total for anyone above age of 65, which is the lowest number we’ve had in that age group pretty much ever," he said.
But, there was an uptick in cases in people age 19-34, due to travel, team sports and a lack of vaccinations.
For those having difficulty getting an appointment, Willis stressed that it’s a matter of weeks, not months, before vaccines become more available.
"We are on track to cover everyone by June," Willis said.
