Vaccinated People Are Getting COVID-19. How Concerned Should You Be?
Several recent reports are shedding some light on the delta variant and the risks it poses.
The data show that breakthrough infections are still rare: The Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) drilled down into the numbers on COVID-19 infections provided by 25 states and found that in more than 9 in 10 cases, hospitalizations and deaths occurred in unvaccinated or partially vaccinated people. And a New York Times analysis of 40 states found that fewer than 5% of hospitalizations and 6% of deaths there occurred among vaccinated people.
But a separate report from the CDC raised serious questions about whether it’s all that safe for anyone, including vaccinated people, to return to pre-pandemic, freewheeling social activities.
