Hospitalization rates climbing for unvaccinated Illinoisans

Federal and state data can be used to calculate the weekly rates of hospital admittances, per 100,000 Illinois residents. The weekly rate for those who aren't fully vaccinated has risen sharply since mid-July, while the rate for fully vaccinated residents has risen far more modestly. At last count, those not fully vaccinated were 13 times more likely to end up hospitalized with COVID-19 than those fully vaccinated.

Date listed is last day of seven-day period. IDPH does not break out data for those partially vaccinated. That group is counted among those not fully vaccinated.
