20% of L.A. County’s coronavirus cases in June were among the vaccinated. Why that’s not surprising
What is going on?
When the coronavirus begins to spread more widely, it’s going to test the immune system of vaccinated people more often. And some people will be exposed to just enough coronavirus in their bodies that it might show up as an asymptomatic infection or a mild illness.
The more important factor, experts say, is whether someone eventually becomes sick enough that they need to go to the hospital. And the available data continue to support that the vaccines in use in the U.S. are highly effective on that score.
