Few COVID-19 Vaccinated Patients Need Intensive Care
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Two large hospital systems in the Upper Midwest say fully vaccinated people make up a minority of COVID-19 hospitalizations and an even lower number of people needing intensive care and ventilators.
Minneapolis-based Allina Health reported 176 patients were hospitalized with COVID-19 this week and that 22% are vaccinated against the coronavirus.
Sanford Health, based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, reported 159 patients with COVID-19 hospitalized this week at its facilities in the Dakotas and Minnesota, and that 10% are fully vaccinated.
The hospital systems are among the first in the nation to report their COVID-19
hospitalizations by severity and vaccination status.
