The Marin County COVID-19 Status Update is three times per week and as needed to share important news and resources related to the COVID-19 pandemic and to keep the local economy running. We remain here for you.

Pregnant? Getting Vaccinated Helps Protect You and Your Baby

Since the start of the pandemic, there have been a total of 116 reported COVID-19 cases among pregnant women in Marin. Of those cases, women of color make up more than 70% of the positives, with the Latinx population contributing over 60%. These numbers are especially alarming when taking into consideration the low booster rate among our communities of color.   

While Marin County may have the highest vaccination rate for primary COVID vaccinations, waning immunity requires we stay up to date with our booster dose in order to protect our families. The COVID-19 vaccine is safe and can help protect you and your baby from experiencing extreme symptoms.  

If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, learn more about pregnancy and the COVID-19 vaccine. Use California Department of Public Health’s “Pregnancy and the COVID-19 Vaccine” fact sheet to understand important health and safety information for pregnant or nursing people. Learn more or access the fact sheet (available in multiple languages) on the CDPH website. 

Recording of Last Week’s Public Health Update for the School Community

Last Wednesday, Marin County Office of Education (MCOE) joined with Public Health to provide an online Public Health Update and Q&A for the school community, parents, and guardians. We invite you to watch the recorded presentation below in the event you were unable to attend.

Vaccination Opportunities in Marin 

If you know someone who is still in need of a primary vaccination dose or booster shot, please share the list below with them! While Marin County remains one of the most highly vaccinated within the state and the nation, many eligible residents have yet to receive their booster shot.  

Bolstering our immunity against COVID-19 is of utmost importance, especially with the continued presence of coronavirus, including the Omicron variant, in our community. Fortunately, we have access to vaccines which are a FREE and effective resource for keeping us protected.

If you are unable to find a COVID-19 vaccination clinic open at a time that works with your schedule, more options are available by visiting California Department of Public Health’s MyTurn COVID and flu vaccination scheduling website. 

We are grateful to everyone in our community who has done their part by getting fully vaccinated and boosted when eligible. 

COVID-19 Data Update: 

NEW: As of February 16, our COVID-19 Status Update has changed in frequency and is now published Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays except holidays. Because these updates are no longer published on consecutive days, the last column in each data table now reflects the change from last Status Update, not a change from the previous day. 

Below is just a snapshot of local COVID-19 data. For a more in-depth analysis of COVID-19 trends, please view the Marin Data & Surveillance webpage, review our Data FAQ, or explore the raw data sets on Marin County's Open Data Portal. 

* Note that this percentage is out of all Marin residents including children younger than 5. 

** In order to more accurately reflect the vaccination status of current Marin residents, individuals who reported their residence as a county other than Marin in their most recent vaccinations have been removed. This accounts for individuals who have moved, students who are studying outside the county, etc. Individuals whose most recent vaccination of any type includes Marin County residence continue to be included regardless of their county of residence at the time of prior vaccinations.
