Health experts labeled the summer surge "a pandemic of the unvaccinated." However, the news of breakthrough cases was being reported at the same time.
Recently
released data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention displays just how common those cases were.
Average cases by vaccine status
According to the CDC, scientists discovered that during the month of August, when the delta variant was ravaging the country, unvaccinated people were six times more likely to contract COVID-19.
And the data backs it up. At the peak of the reported cases during that period of time, data shows unvaccinated people accounted for 736 cases for every 100,000 people. Vaccinated people accounted for 121 cases for every 100,000 people.
Similar information can be seen when breaking down the data by age group.
Average deaths by vaccine status
When looking at deaths, the difference between being vaccinated and unvaccinated was much more drastic. The CDC says, during that same period of time in August, the peak of Delta, unvaccinated people were 11 times more likely to die from COVID-19 than the vaccinated.
Once again looking at the data provided, for every 100,000 unvaccinated people, there were 13 reported COVID-related deaths. Vaccinated people accounted for just one death.
What we know about breakthrough cases
In just a few short months, researchers have learned a lot about COVID in vaccinated people. Here are some of the key takeaways:
If you test positive, a fully vaccinated person is unlikely to have a serious case, end up hospitalized or dead. Instead, they might be asymptomatic or have a few mild symptoms for a short amount of time.
"Some people could get sick, but generally we see really mild symptoms in people who have been vaccinated. You may notice a sore throat, little bit of a cough, little bit of malaise, which is just feeling tired," said Dr. Jill Roberts, an epidemiologist at the University of South Florida.
