Administration officials still contend that the fully vaccinated represent a very small percentage of transmission, which is primarily occurring among unvaccinated people. I hope all Americans who live in the areas covered by the CDC guidance will follow it. In some states, particularly in the South, just over a third of the population is fully vaccinated. The CDC said in May it would stop monitoring the number of infections in vaccinated people aside from cases where a fully vaccinated person was hospitalized or died. A spokesperson for University of Kansas Health System said July 15 that 16 percent of inpatients were fully vaccinated people.
