County releases details of which Covid-vaccinated people end up in Central New York hospitals.

[ARPad95]

Of the fully vaccinated hospitalized, more than 80% admitted from Aug 1 - Sep 9 were over 60 years old and the biggest share were people over 80. In other words, older adults with serious underlying conditions (heart disease, kidney disease and lung disease).

Fully vaccinated people under 60 = 17%
Fully vaccinated people under 20 = 0%

1. Now I'm wondering how many unvaccinated people in their hospital

2. Approx 1/3 of the hospitalized were vaccinated. From the article...

Aug. 1 to Sept. 9:

85 of the 258 patients hospitalized for Covid-19 had been fully vaccinated – about a third of the total admissions. That is still a tiny fraction of the nearly 290,000 county residents who have been vaccinated.

3. Thanks. 85 people is not bad, considering the population

[FreepFryer]

4. Yup, and it points to the need for boosters I would say. Cheers! :)

6. Agree. Got my booster because I had Cancer treatment

Also got my flu shot and a tetanus booster. I’m not afraid of needles like some of these fat gun toting monsters

5. That's why I'm glad my mother and I went ahead and got boosters early.

She's extremely healthy, but over 80. I'm under 60, but not by much. Just not worth the risk, especially considering the glut of currently available vaccine.
