Health Department stats show persistent effects of Delta spread

"Unvaccinated Vermonters are three to four times more likely than vaccinated Vermonters to contract Covid-19 in the current period of spread, according to new data from the Vermont Department of Health. ... Health officials have repeatedly emphasized that since vaccinations began, breakthrough cases have involved only a small percentage of the vaccinated population. That rate hovered around 0.06% throughout the summer. In the reporting period ending Aug. 25, the rate rose to 0.27%."
