“The focus from here on in for us is to make it as easy as possible for eligible residents to get vaccinated,” Ferrer said. L.A. County is also increasing its capacity to bring vaccine clinics to workplaces, and people will soon be able to request the county to come to their worksite to administer vaccines. As of Friday, 4.89 million adults and older teenagers in L.A. County had received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine, about 59% of this population. But the 80% goal among those eligible for the vaccine is a reasonable guess for reaching herd immunity, Ferrer said. And while 62% of eligible female residents of L.A. County have received at least one vaccine dose, only 56% of men have.
