Map: See how Covid-19 cases are rising in states with low vaccination rates.
, cases of Covid-19 infection are once again rising around the country. But data shows that the biggest increases are in states that are lagging behind in vaccinations.
Health experts say state vaccination rates are the main difference that defines outbreak severity, with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle WalenskyDr. Brian Strom, chancellor of Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences in New Jersey, told NBC News that unvaccinated individuals infected with the delta variant have more than 1,000 times as many viral particles in their respiratory systems as those infected by the original strain.
Missouri, where only 41 percent of the population is fully vaccinated and 47 percent have at least one shot, is dealing with a large increase in cases that is beginning to strain the health care system. Dr. Taylor Nelson, an assistant professor at the University of Missouri’s division of infectious disease, said the university has received more than 20 patients from overburdened hospitals in the state’s southwest corner.
