COVID-19 infection in a Colorado county a . with delta Variant growth was more common among fully vaccinated people this spring than in other counties in the state, where it was spreading at lower levels, a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention The study released on Friday revealed.
The study also found that the delta variant caused more severe disease. Cases, hospital intensive care unit admissions and deaths were higher Mesa County, Colorado, than anywhere else in the state, it said.
NS CDC A recently leaked report said it was believed the delta variant was causing more severe illness in non-vaccinated people than other versions of the coronavirus, citing outside studies United States of america.
In Mesa County, the proportion of delta-type cases more than doubled from 43% for the week ending May 1 to 88% for the week ending June 5. The study looked at data from April 27 to June 6 in the county, which was responsible for half of the Delta-type cases in the state.
The estimated “raw efficacy” of COVID-19 vaccines against preventing infection among fully vaccinated people in Mesa County was 78%, compared to 89% for other Colorado counties, where the variant was less effective.
The study found that the lower estimates “may support previous findings that COVID-19 vaccines with the delta variant offer marginally less protection against symptomatic infection.”
Also in another study published Friday, CDC data showed that a person infected with COVID-19 who was fully vaccinated was less likely to be re-infected than someone who got the virus. but he has not been vaccinated.
Analysis of 246 patients Kentucky It has been found that residents of the state with previous COVID-19 infection, who were not vaccinated, had 2.34 times more re-infection than those who were vaccinated and were infected earlier.
