Counties with the highest COVID-19 vaccination rate in New Mexico – KRQE News 13

(STACKER) The vaccine deployment in December 2020 signaled a turning point in the COVID-19 pandemic. By theend of May 2021, 40% of the U.S. population was fully vaccinated. But as vaccination rates lagged over the summer, new surges of COVID-19 came, including Delta in the summer of 2021, and now the Omicron variant, which comprises themajority of casesin the U.S.

Researchers around the world have reported that Omicron ismore transmissiblethan Delta, making breakthrough and repeat infections more likely. Early research suggests this strain may cause less severe illness than Delta and the original virus, however, health officials have warned an Omicron-driven surge could stillincrease hospitalization and death ratesespecially in areas with less vaccinated populations.

The United States as of March 18 reached 970,343 COVID-19-related deaths and nearly 79.7 million COVID-19 cases, according toJohns Hopkins University.Currently, 65.3% of the population isfully vaccinated, and 44.4% of vaccinated people have received booster doses.
