“As we mourn those we have lost to this deadly virus, Jeff, Josh and I send our sympathies to these families,” said Governor Lou Leon Guerrero. “We, as a community, are capable of coming out of this pandemic stronger and more resilient, and we are reminded that our most vital defenses are found in the vaccine and our most useful tool is taking the extra precautions.”
46 Hospitalized for COVID-19
SPECIAL NOTE: Based on today's data, if we were to compare two (2) hypothetical populations of 100,000 people each, vaccinated versus unvaccinated, there would be 16 vaccinated people hospitalized for COVID-19 compared to 186 unvaccinated people hospitalized for COVID- 19. The risk of being hospitalized for COVID-19 is about 12 times higher for the unvaccinated as compared to the vaccinated.
