For the time period of 9/3/21 to 9/9/21, S7HD reports a total of 48 Breakthrough Cases of COVID-19 out of 294 total, new COVID-19 cases across the S7 region. That means 84% of new COVID infections this past week were in unvaccinated individuals. A total of 0.2% of fully vaccinated individuals have a breakthrough case.
Breakthrough cases are individuals who are fully vaccinated but have tested positive for COVID-19.
Most people with a breakthrough case are experiencing or have experienced very mild COVID-19 symptoms. Fewer still have faced the need for hospitalization. We are seeing a small number of breakthrough cases amongst all age groups, genders, and vaccine makers.
COVID-19 vaccines will not prevent you from contracting the virus but will go a long way to lessening the severity of your illness, greatly reducing the possibility you’ll need hospitalization, and further reduce the possibility or death as a result of COVID-19. These vaccines have been in use since mid-December and are still proving highly effective in slowing or stopping the spread of COVID amongst vaccinated individuals.
Here at S7HD, we believe in transparency and want to provide this information to our followers on a regular basis. We will publish information once per week on our breakthrough cases.
*PLEASE NOTE: Per IDPH, a Breakthrough Case is defined as an individual who tests positive for COVID-19 at least 14 days after being fully vaccinated and did not test positive in the previous 45 days.
