Two surveillance indicators that potentially can be used to monitor and describe vaccine breakthrough COVID-19 cases and severe outcomes are the percentage of vaccinated persons among cases (PVC) and an IRR between unvaccinated and vaccinated patients. Getting vaccinated protects against severe illness from COVID-19, including the Delta variant, and monitoring COVID-19 incidence by vaccination status might provide early signals of changes in vaccine-related protection that can be confirmed through well-controlled vaccine effectiveness (VE) studies. Findings were consistent with a potential decline in vaccine protection against confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection and continued strong protection against COVID-19–associated hospitalization and death. Averaged weekly, age-standardized incidence rate ratios (IRRs) for cases among persons who were not fully vaccinated compared with those among fully vaccinated persons decreased from 11.1 (95% confidence interval = 7.8–15.8) to 4.6 (95% CI = 2.5–8.5) between two periods when prevalence of the Delta variant was lower (<50% of sequenced isolates April 4–June 19) and higher (≥50% June 20–July 17), and IRRs for hospitalizations and deaths decreased between the same two periods, from 13.3 (95% CI = 11.3–15.6) to 10.4 (95% CI = 8.1–13.3) and from 16.6 (95% CI = 13.5–20.4) to 11.3 (95% CI = 9.1–13.9). jurisdictions that routinely linked case surveillance and immunization registry data.
Reported COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths occurring among persons aged ≥18 years during April 4–July 17, 2021, were analyzed by vaccination status across 13 U.S.
