US data: SARS-CoV-2 infection rate after full vaccination is only 0.1%
According to US government data, most of the Covid-19 deaths in the US in recent times have not been vaccinated.
Analysis of data from May by the US news agency AP shows that the infection rateSARS-CoV-2among those who have been fully vaccinated is just 0.1%, while only 150 of the 18,000 deaths in May were due to vaccination. That suggests vaccination has significantly reduced the Covid-19 death rate and brought the average daily death toll in the US below 300 from 3,400 in mid-January.
Earlier this month, Andy Slavitt, a former Biden administration adviser on Covid-19, said that about 98%-99% of Covid-19 deaths were unvaccinated.
To date, about 63% of Americans, including children 12 and older, have received at least one dose of vaccine and about 53% of the US population has been fully vaccinated. However, the pace of vaccination in the US is slowing down, especially among young people, although the supply of vaccines in the US is quite abundant compared to the scarcity in many other countries around the world./.
