New Jersey sees spike in breakthrough cases in last two weeks, data analysis shows
Gov. Phil Murphy said again Monday that vaccines against COVID-19 are 99.9% effective against getting the virus and 99.99% effective against dying from it. But the most recent data available shows a significant uptick in breakthrough cases and deaths since the delta variant became the dominant strain in New Jersey.
An NJ Spotlight News analysis of data from the state Department of Health for the most recent two-week period June 29 through July 12 found that the number of COVID-19 cases among fully vaccinated people increased by more than 16%. The number of hospitalizations jumped by two-thirds and the number of deaths rose by 55%, that analysis found.
