Individuals vaccinated in the earliest stages of the rollout are susceptible to breakthrough infections, said Dr.
Reynold Panettieri, vice chancellor for translational medicine and science at Rutgers University.
A downward trend in Covid hospitalizations and deaths, which typically lag reported case counts by a couple weeks or more as people become infected with the virus and then become sick enough to need urgent care, is showing signs of leveling off. Roughly 48,000 Americans are currently hospitalized with the virus, the same level as two weeks ago, based on a seven-day average of Department of Health and Human Services data.
The Northeast's highly dense cities and the Midwest's colder temperatures – compared with the South, where cases have plunged as more comfortable weather rolls in – could help explain those regional differences, Panettieri noted.
