In a recent report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were about 5,800 cases of COVID-19 with individuals who have been fully vaccinated in the United States. In an article by Yahoo Life, they calculated that this “amounts to a rate of 0.008 percent of Americans who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 that have gotten the infection”. The CDC also stated in the article that “COVID-19 vaccines are effective and are a critical tool to bring the pandemic under control. All of the available vaccines have been proven effective at preventing severe illness, hospitalizations and deaths”. Doctors are warning the public to not panic with these “breakthrough” cases.
