Are there serious breakthrough COVID cases for fully vaccinated people? Not a lot

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has new data on people with severe cases of COVID-19, and it’s consistent with information we’ve read before.

How many cases of rupture are there?

The CDC said it received reports of 12,908 severe cases of outbreaks of COVID-19 among fully vaccinated people, which resulted in hospitalization or death, according to CNN.

• A total of 173 million people in the United States have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
• According to CNN, these numbers suggest that you have a 1 in 13,000 chance of having a severe case of COVID-19 if you are fully immunized.

Who receives serious breakthrough cases?

According to CNN, new data from the CDC suggests that 70% of groundbreaking cases that have led to hospitalizations are among those 65 and older.

• Almost 87% of cases leading to death were also aged 65 and over.

It seems to correspond to the information we have heard before. Reports surfaced earlier in August that weaker and more fragile people were often infected with COVID-19 and often suffered from more severe symptoms, as I wrote for the Deseret News.

What are your chances of contracting COVID-19?

A new report from the New York Times has suggested that the odds of fully vaccinated people becoming infected with the novel coronavirus are around 1 in 5,000. This is based on data from Utah and Virginia, as well as the King County in Washington State, which includes Seattle.

However, the odds are reduced to 1 in 10,000 for communities with higher vaccination rates, such as much of the Northeast, Chicago and Los Angeles.

• “Here’s a way to think of a daily chance of 1 in 10,000: It would take more than three months for the combined risk to reach just 1%,” according to the New York Times.
