A small number of fully vaccinated people with COVID-19 in NSW have died — here's why

ABC  

Thirty-five fully vaccinated people have now died in NSW's Delta outbreak, with three fully vaccinated patients among the seven deaths recorded yesterday. Key points: Between March 1 and September 11, 4 per per cent of the people who contracted COVID in NSW were fully vaccinated The vaccines are effective at helping people avoid serious illness However, some people remain vulnerable despite being fully vaccinated While that’s about 11 per cent of the total 316 deaths since this outbreak began, experts say other risk factors are also at play — including age and underlying health issues. People who are fully vaccinated are 70 to 95 per cent less likely to get sick from COVID compared with the unvaccinated, according to NSW Health. About 1,400 — or 4 per cent — of the people who contracted COVID in NSW between March 1 and September 11 this year were fully vaccinated.
