SHAWNEE, Okla. – The most recent COVID-19 epidemiology report found that 38% of all new COVID cases involved Oklahoma’s youth (15-24 years) and young adult (25-34 years) populations. Both age groups, which currently have the lowest vaccination rates in the state, are especially at risk for new versions of the virus, like the Delta variant.
Oklahoma is seeing the number of infections among this unprotected group grow along with increased overall hospitalizations and deaths. Young adults, school-aged children, and their parents are among this unprotected group, so it is important to consider the benefits of getting the COVID-19 vaccine when making plans for the upcoming school year.
