More than 2,000 Americans who were fully vaccinated against COVID-19 have died of the virus, data shows.
At least 2,437 fully vaccinated people across the United States have died of COVID-19, as of Aug. 30. Among the total number of breakthrough deaths, 87% were people aged 65 and older and 44% were females, a report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed.
During the same period, authorities from across the country also reported 10,471 breakthrough hospitalizations. At least 70% or 7,282 of hospitalizations among the fully vaccinated were people aged 65 and older, while 48% or 5,059 are females. Only 2,409 of the cases were patients who showed no symptoms or their hospitalizations were not COVID-19 related.
Breakthrough COVID-19 cases are on the rise across the U.S. These cases occur when a person who has been fully vaccinated becomes infected with the novel coronavirus. An expert estimates that the U.S. is likely to be reporting 35,000 breakthrough cases every week.
