INTERACTIVE MAP: See how many people in your zip code have been vaccinated against COVID-19

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA (KABC) — Everyone over 16 is now eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, but not all areas are at the same level when it comes to vaccination rates.

For example, the zip code with the highest percentage of the over 16 population that’s been fully vaccinated in Southern California, according to the data, is 92637 in Orange County. The Laguna Woods zip code has a median age of about 76, and had a vaccination rate of more than 74% as of April 28.

The SoCal zip code with the lowest fully vaccinated percentage is zip code 92310 in San Bernardino County, at a rate of just 3%.

But the overall trend, especially in urban areas of Southern California, shows poorer, younger communities of color are still lagging in getting their vaccines.

There’s a similar trend in cities across the state.
