Infection In Fully Vaccinated People Is Uncommon

UNDATED (AP) – Health officials have released more evidence that COVID-19 infections in fully vaccinated people are uncommon. The latest study looked at recent infections in about 75 Chicago skilled nursing facilities. Nearly 8,000 residents and nearly 7,000 staff received two doses of vaccine at the facilities. In those who were fully vaccinated, health officials detected 22 breakthrough infections. Most experienced no symptoms, but two were hospitalized and one died. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention posted the study online. Some studies have suggested vaccine effectiveness can be lower in nursing homes.
