  From what I've seen, this is where we seem to have lucked out. In that if you get Covid as a vaccinated person, it will still dramatically reduce your chances of being hospitalized or dying from it. > August 25, 2021 — The Health Department today released new data on vaccine effectiveness and breakthrough cases, hospitalizations and deaths. Between January 17 and August 7, 2021, 96.1% of COVID-19 cases, 96.9% of COVID-19 hospitalizations, and 97.3% of COVID-19 deaths in New York City were in people who were unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated. Additionally, for the same time period, 0.33% of fully vaccinated New Yorkers have ever been diagnosed with COVID-19, 0.02% have been hospitalized with COVID-19, and 0.003% have died due to complications with COVID-19. > from August 7, unvaccinated New Yorkers are 3.1 times more likely to get COVID-19 than fully vaccinated New Yorkers. Additionally, unvaccinated New Yorkers are almost 10 times more likely to be hospitalized with COVID-19 than those who are fully vaccinated You can read more here: https://www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/about/press/pr2021/health-department-releases-data-covid-19-vaccine-effectiveness.page https://www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/about/press/pr2021/health-depa...
