[QUOTE="PloverWing, post: 76133015, member: 307356"] This does not follow. Massachusetts has a pretty high vaccination rate (the paper says it was 69% as of July 3), so the numbers are reflecting the vaccinated/unvaccinated levels in the general Massachusetts population. It does mean that even vaccinated people are vulnerable to this new variant, so the recommendation is that we go back to some of our earlier precautions, like masking, in indoor situations. (Remember that the vaccine was developed for the initial strain; the delta variant is a newer mutation. We're still learning how much protection the vaccine for the original virus can offer against this related but new virus.) I'm encouraged, though, that the number of hospitalizations in this new outbreak is low, and there have been no deaths. [/QUOTE]
