Surge has slowed; call for vaccination still critical
Across the state, just more than half of people remain unvaccinated against COVID-19 than vaccinated. This allows the virus to continue to spread and change, possibly into forms that are more dangerous.
While the most recent "surge" in cases of COVID-19 is beginning to lessen, hospitals are still seeing many people who are very sick -- and most of those continue to be unvaccinated individuals.
Among the vaccinated individuals who are contracting COVID-19 and becoming so sick they need hospitalization, the overwhelming majority have previous underlying conditions that prevented full protection from the vaccine.
The vaccines still are doing their most important job -- reducing our risk of serious illness, hospitalization and death.
If you've been vaccinated, thank you for taking action to protect yourselves and those around you. If you haven't been vaccinated, please do so soon -- or have a conversation with your doctor.
We continue to encourage taking precautions including wearing masks in indoor settings and avoiding large crowds.
