California hospital sees staff COVID-19 infections drop to single digits after achieving herd immunity
As COVID-19 vaccinations speed up across the United States, a hospital in hard-hit California says its staff has achieved herd immunity. In December, when the pandemic was at its peak in the state, UC Davis Medical Center had 231 employees out because of COVID-19.
On Wednesday, that number was just 10.
More than 56 million vaccine doses have been administered in the U.S. so far, although the nation is still far from the herd immunity scientists say the country needs to be safe. At UC Davis however, more than 90% of the staff has received at least their first shot and have achieved that threshold.
