The state’s Hawaii COVID-19 vaccine summary said today that 475,661 vaccines have been administered of the 650,380 received by the state.

Of the administered vaccines, 451,185 were given to the general public and 24,476 were distributed through the federal pharmacy program, officials said.

Oahu moved into the less-restrictive Tier 3 of the city’s four-tier economic recovery plan on Feb. 25 after being in Tier 2 since Oct. 22. Tier 3 permits social and outdoor recreational gatherings of up to 10 people, and restaurants to seat 10 people at a table, up from five now. Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi on Thursday announced modifications to Tier 3, including allowing bars to reopen under the same conditions as restaurants and extending the curfew until midnight.

Today’s seven-day average case count for Oahu is 27 and the seven-day average positivity rate is 0.9%, according to Blangiardi.
