A person is up to date if they have received at least one dose of the 2024–2025 COVID-19 vaccine. As of November 2023, in alignment with the California Department of Public Health, we will only be reporting on individuals who are up to date on their COVID-19 vaccine.  

For more information about what it means to be up to date on your COVID-19 vaccine please review the criteria established by the California Department of Public Health

People are best protected from severe COVID-19 illness when they stay up to date with their COVID-19 vaccines.

Data come from the California Immunization Registry (CAIR2). CAIR2 is run by the California Department of Public Health.  

San Francisco residents whose most recent vaccine dose was administered by a California provider reporting to CAIR2 are included in these data. All vaccines given to SF residents are included, even if they received their vaccination elsewhere in California. People who do not live in San Francisco are not included, even if they received their COVID-19 vaccines from a provider in San Francisco.  

For more information about what it means to be up to date on your COVID-19 vaccine please review the criteria established by the California Department of Public Health.  

Population information is from the 2022 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year estimates. The U.S. Census Bureau provides these data.   

We use these data to estimate the percent of each SF group that is up to date on their COVID-19 vaccinations.  

Disclaimers  

The ACS estimates the number of residents in each race or ethnicity group based on a survey of residents. Estimates may not be precise, especially for groups with smaller populations. 

If the true population is larger than the estimate we use, then the true vaccination rate will be lower than what we report here. This is likely true for groups that show a larger number of vaccine recipients than estimated residents. As a result, the percent of residents who are up to date is only an estimate and percentages will not be reported above 90%. 

Healthcare providers might report race or ethnicity differently than how they are defined by the ACS. Also, individuals might identify their race or ethnicity differently in their census response form how they report their race or ethnicity to their healthcare provider. The largest differences are likely in the definition of categories of "multi-racial" and "other." For that reason, these groups are not reported in this chart, but the data are still available in: the table beneath the chart, and San Francisco's open data portal (click on “View source data” above).   

Please interpret these data with caution.

Neighborhood results in the map do not include people who did not report a valid street address. Therefore, the total number of up to date residents represented in this map may be less than the total number of residents who are up to date. The total number of up to date residents include residents who identified San Francisco as their home county, even if they did not have a valid street address.
