US: CDC reports 4,115 breakthrough COVID cases involving hospitalizations or deaths
#1
Published: June 28, 2021


The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has received reports of 4,115 patients with COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough cases who were hospitalized or died. Of those cases, 26% of hospitalizations were reported as asymptomatic or not related to COVID-19, and 19% of the 750 fatalities were reported as asymptomatic or not related to COVID-19.

The data, which includes information through June 21, is amid a backdrop of 150 million people who are fully vaccinated in the U.S. Nearly half of the breakthrough cases, or 49%, involve females, and 3,124, or 76%, occurred in patients ages 65 years and older.

Officials have long predicted vaccine breakthrough cases would be reported, as "no vaccines are 100% effective at preventing illness in vaccinated people." The agency has also warned there would be a "small percentage" of vaccinated people who get sick, require hospitalization or even die from COVID-19.


Quote:"The number of COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough infections reported to CDC likely are an undercount of all SARS-CoV-2 infections among fully vaccinated persons," the agency noted. "National surveillance relies on passive and voluntary reporting, and data might not be complete or representative. These surveillance data are a snapshot and help identify patterns and look for signals among vaccine breakthrough cases."
