This demonstrates that vaccines are working. We always expected a number of breakthrough infections because no vaccine is 100% effective.

The benefits of vaccine are still there-

  • decreased risk of catching COVID-19,

  • decreased risk of getting severely sick,

  • decreased risk of being hospitalized, and

  • decreased risk of death

IMPORTANT: Vaccines are highly effective against severe illness, but the Delta variant causes more infections and spreads faster than earlier forms of the virus that causes COVID-19.

We appreciate your patience while our staff works to keep up with the increase in cases along with their normal duties.
