The results of an Associated Press study of government data available from May reveals that ‘breakthrough’ infections among fully vaccinated individuals accounted for less than 1,200 of 853,000 COVID-19-related hospitalizations. Almost about 0.1%

And nearly 150 of the more than 18,000 COVID-19-related deaths in May occurred among those who were fully vaccinated. This accounts for about 0.8% of deaths, or five per day on average.

However, the overall trend in the data echoes what many health authorities are seeing across the country and what high-level experts are saying.
