Pott. County Health Dept. addresses rising COVID-19 cases among younger populations ahead new school year
Pott. County Health Dept.
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.
Pottawatomie County currently has 13 active COVID-19 cases, which is down from June 23 when there were 24.
11 positive cases connected to COVID-19 variants of concern have also been confirmed since the tracking of variants began earlier this year. This includes five cases of the B.1.1.7 Alpha variant and six cases of the B.1.617.2 Delta variant.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention considers a variant of concern to be relatively more transmissible, harmful or resistant to vaccines or treatment.
Those with questions about vaccines and testing can call the Pottawatomie County Health Department at 785-457-3719 or email Leslie Campbell, Pottawatomie County health director, at lcampbell@pottcounty.org.
