Health officials say most of the new cases in New York are in unvaccinated people, but in other places, even the vaccinated are succumbing to the delta variant. In Mississippi, for example, which has vaccinated less than 40% of its population, State Health Doctor Thomas Dobbs said vaccinated residents accounted for 12% of COVID hospitalizations in the latest week, up from just 5% two weeks ago.

Some 55.6% of the overall population has received at least one dose. Among adults 18-years-and-older, 58.9% are fully vaccinated and 67.7% have received at least one dose.
The World Health Organization’s weekly epidemiological update shows nearly 3 million new cases were counted in the week through July 13, while 56,000 people died. “The global public health risks associated with COVID-19 remain very high,” the agency cautioned.
