Manhattan Beach vaccination rates have risen to 65 percent of its 16-and-over population with at least one COVID-19 vaccine shot, according to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. Among those aged 65 and older, the vaccination rate in Manhattan Beach is 91 percent.

As of April 20, 19,463 (65%) of those ages 16 and over have received at least their first shot. A whopping 5,228 (91%) of those ages 65 and over have received at least their first shot.

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health has a new Interactive Vaccine Tracker that shows detailed information about the location and percentages of those who have received vaccines. It also provides an opportunity to track vaccines over time.

The dashboard shows that the peak day for those getting vaccines in Manhattan Beach was April 1, the first day that vaccines became widely available for those ages 50 and up. 

The peak day for getting vaccines for those ages 65 and older in Manhattan Beach was January 21.

As of April 20, 75% of L.A. County residents 65 and older have received at least one dose and 60% of residents 65 and older have been fully vaccinated. Overall, 48% of L.A. County residents 16 and older have received at least one dose of vaccine and 30% have been fully vaccinated.

While there is good progress in increasing vaccination rates across the county, the county continues to see large geographic disparities in vaccination rates. Rates remain lowest in south Los Angeles, east Los Angeles, east San Fernando Valley, the Antelope Valley, and pockets of the San Gabriel Valley and the Harbor Gateway region of Los Angeles.

L.A. County Public Health is offering walk-in registration spots at county-run mass vaccination sites through Monday, April 26 while supply lasts. Anyone 16 and older living or working in L.A. County can get vaccinated. You will need to bring a photo ID with you and teens 16 and 17 should be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Registration for COVID-19 appointments will be completed on-site.

A limited number of spots are available at AdventurePlex on Saturday before noon. To make an appointment, go to www.MyTurn.ca.gov and search for AdventurePlex in Manhattan Beach. You can also search for zip code 90266.
