As of April 4, more than half of Manhattan Beach adults have been vaccinated, according to county data released on April 9.

15,480 individuals, out of an (adult) population of 29,889 have received at least their first vaccination, bringing Manhattan Beach to 51.8 percent vaccinated. 

In this latest round, Manhattan Beach pulled ahead of other communities that it was previously behind on in terms of vaccination rates. Manhattan Beach (51.8 percent) is now ahead of Beverly Hills (51.7%), Calabasas (50.5%), Palos Verdes Estates (51.3%), and Rancho Palos Verdes (50.2%).

More than 4,715,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered to people across Los Angeles County. Of those vaccinated, 1,652,149 people received second doses and 136,232 people received the single dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

As of April 6, 70.2% of L.A. County residents 65 and older received at least one dose of the vaccine. In total, 37.1% of the county’s population 18 and older have received at least one dose of vaccine.

Vaccinations are currently being administered at 566 locations across Los Angeles County. These sites include seven large community vaccination sites operated by the County, nine LA City vaccination sites, 24 hospital vaccination sites, 130 pharmacies, 199 federally qualified health centers and community clinics, and 197 additional sites provided vaccine directly by the federal government and the state.

Across Los Angeles County, there are 540 people with COVID-19 currently hospitalized and 26% of these people are in the ICU.

As of Friday, there have been 1,314 total cases of COVID-19 since the pandemic began. There have been 18 deaths reported in Manhattan Beach. (That number was revised downward from 20 after corrections in the data were made.)
