STATE RELEASES BREAKTHROUGH COVID-19 CASE DATA

Data on breakthrough COVID-19 cases in Pennsylvania is now available to the public. On Friday, the Pennsylvania Department of Health released its report that shows that since January of this year, about 9-percent of COVID cases came from people who were fully vaccinated before infection. The report also shows that 93-percent of reported COVID hospitalizations this year have been from unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated individuals. The same group made up 93-percent of COVID-related deaths this year. Officials say the data is further evidence of the effectiveness of getting vaccinated.
