They ARE serious... 61.6% fully vaxxed Minnesota tops 500K boosters as COVID-19 breakthrough infections and deaths rise

More than a half-million booster doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered in Minnesota to counter the latest delta wave of the pandemic and waning immunity among people who received shots months ago.

The Minnesota Department of Health in the past week identified another 7,821 breakthrough coronavirus infections among more than 3.2 million fully vaccinated people in the state, including another 111 people who died of COVID-19 despite their immunizations. The state's breakthrough total as of Monday reached 64,844 infections — more than 2% of the fully vaccination population — and 483 COVID-19 deaths.

Minnesota's pandemic totals, regardless of vaccination status, reached 819,239 infections and 8,862 COVID-19 deaths, including 4,253 infections and 34 deaths reported on Monday.

The proportion of deaths involving people younger than 65 has increased from 12% before June 1 to 26% since that time — with Monday's report including the deaths of an Itasca County resident in the 25-29 age range and a Dakota County resident in the 45-49 age range. Conversely, long-term care facility residents made up 60% of COVID-19 deaths reported before June 1, and 26% since that time.
