RICHMOND, Va. According to new data from the Virginia Department of Health, 1,063 fully-vaccinated Virginians have tested positive for COVID-19. That s less than one percent of all COVID-19 case numbers.
The VDH dashboard also shows 71 fully-vaccinated Virginians have been hospitalized for COVID-19, and 17 have died. It is highly unusual, and when it occurs, it is surprising, explained Rebekah Butterfield, epidemiologist with the Richmond Henrico Health District. Every time that that occurs, a few cases that we ve had, we do make note of it and look into the patient s medical history to see if there are other, you know, underlying reasons for that.
