More than 70 percent of adults in Orange County, Calif. have been vaccinated against COVID-19, health officials say.

The milestone was reached shortly before July 4, a date previously attached to the county’s Operation Independence. It aimed to have all eligible residents who wished to be vaccinated inoculated by the holiday.
