Vaccines

UDoH reports it has updated the algorithm that links vaccines to case records for the breakthrough analysis on the risk factor tab. In some cases where people had gotten COVID-19 multiple times, the vaccine-to-case linkage occurred incorrectly. This has been corrected and results in an increase to fully vaccinated breakthroughs by 3,300 and a decrease in booster breakthroughs by 2,700.

UDoH reports 4,972,374 total vaccines administered which is 2,252 more than yesterday.

Vaccinated & Boosted vs Unvaccinated Risk Ratio:
In the last 28 days, people who are unvaccinated are at 8.0 times greater risk of dying from COVID-19, 2.1 times greater risk of being hospitalized due to COVID-19, and 1.9 times greater risk of testing positive for COVID-19 than vaccinated people.

In the last 28 days, people who are unvaccinated are at 19.4 times greater risk of dying from COVID-19, 5.8 times greater risk of being hospitalized due to COVID-19, and 2.1 times greater risk of testing positive for COVID-19 than boosted people.
