None of the patients in the ICU or on the ventilator over the last two weekly reports from the hospital has been vaccinated, and only one patient in the weekly report the week prior to those reports had been fully vaccinated.
The total has numbered over 50 at times this year, so the latest numbers appear to show the virus caseload trending downward from where it was earlier in 2021.
But the overall number of people hospitalized with the virus at CRMC has declined markedly from about a month ago when 57 people were hospitalized with the coronavirus.
Chapman said federal statistics show that people who are vaccinated are ten times less likely to die or become seriously ill from the virus, and five times less likely to become infected at all.
