Infections, hospitalizations, and deaths linked to COVID-19 have risen in recent months among people who have gotten a COVID-19 vaccine, according to newly released data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). But the bulk of cases, hospitalizations, and deaths occurred among unvaccinated Americans, the data show.
COVID-19 cases per 100,000 among the fully vaccinated increased to 121 in mid-August from 12.3 in late June, according to CDC data. Around the same time, COVID-19-associated hospitalizations in that population rose to 75 per 100,000 from 8.9 and COVID-19 deaths jumped to 1.1 per 100,000 from 0.1.
