The San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency Wednesday reported its second pediatric death from COVID-19, a 15-year-old girl who died Feb. 3.

The teen had underlying medical conditions, and had not been vaccinated, the HHSA reported.

In San Diego County, 94% of residents eligible -- age 5 and older -- have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. Around 84% of those 12- 17 have gotten at least one dose. The percentage drops to about 43% for those between the ages of 5 and 11. If a household is selected, it should have received or should be receiving an invitation with an access code to sign up online or over the phone. Participants will be asked to complete an anonymous survey and a free, at-home COVID-19 antibody test using a finger-prick blood sample.

So sad. And, her death probably would have been avoided if she was vaccinated. It’s easy to get out there and get vaccinated to help save someone else’s life.

Oh lawd not again
