Data: More vaccinated people among hospitalized Marylanders

While state data shows the vast majority of Marylanders currently hospitalized with COVID-19 are either unvaccinated or partially vaccinated, the percentage of people fully vaccinated is ticking upward. Infections, illness and hospitalizations are increasing rapidly among fully vaccinated people, according to data from the Maryland Department of Health and new research. Some experts said it's time to reframe thinking that the vaccine likely won't prevent you from ever getting sick, but it will probably keep you out of the hospital and almost certainly prevent you from dying.
