It sounds like the area had a number of large summer events -- sounds like stuff like a county fair and large concerts? If vaccination offers 95% protection in the course of typical daily life, it's not that surprising that one in twenty people will get infected after a series of large public gatherings. It's like everyone looked at that 95% effectiveness number and decided that it's 100% bulletproof protection. The fact that so few were hospitalized (and only one of those hospitalized was vaccinated) is a positive sign.
- ALittleLight 5y ago"There were five hospitalizations in the subset: one in an unvaccinated person with underlying medical conditions and four in fully vaccinated people" I think you have vaccination status backwards among the hospitalized.
- greenbush 5y agoSome more detail on the hospitalized people below: "One vaccinated, hospitalized COVID-19 patient had received the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine and three had received the Janssen vaccine." "Four additional, fully vaccinated patients aged 20–70 years were also hospitalized, two of whom had underlying medical conditions."
