Hitting "herd immunity" is becoming an ever more elusive goal in LA County

Hitting "herd immunity" is becoming an ever more elusive goal in LA County.

Officials were initially hoping to get 80% of eligible residents vaccinated by the end of June.


But amid falling demand for shots, the goal was pushed back to mid to late-July.

Now, Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer says "I don't know with certainty how long it will take us to get to 75-80 percent of eligible people being fully vaccinated here in LA County. I do know that every person that gets vaccinated gets us closer to that goal."

More than 9 million doses have been administered in the county but fewer than half of residents have been fully vaccinated.
