Just over 37% of Santa Clarita Valley residents 16 and older have received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine, according to data through April 4 published by Los Angeles County Department of Public Health officials. In the city of Santa Clarita, the rate is 39%.
The Santa Clarita Valley vaccination rate increased by a little over 5% since the county’s last update on March 22. The county updates vaccination data every two weeks.
The latest SCV vaccination data does not include unincorporated Saugus, where 121 of an estimated 139 residents had received one dose of the vaccination as of March 22.
“Population estimates for cities/communities of population size less than 500 may be unreliable,” according to the county’s website. Though data is available for the unincorporated communities of Sand Canyon, Saugus/Canyon Country, San Francisquito Canyon/Bouquet Canyon and Placerita Canyon, each also has less than 500 residents.
