A new analysis finds several counties with above-average vaccination rates also have higher COVID case rates, while case rates are falling in counties with below-average vaccination rates.
Statewide data analyzed by the Bay Area New Group found the five counties, Los Angeles, San Diego, Alameda, Contra Costa, and San Francisco, have both a higher percentage of people who are fully vaccinated than the state average and a higher average daily case rate.
He notes, first, the counties referenced with higher vaccination and case rates are more densely populated.
"If there are a lot of people around you're more likely to bump into one who has COVID," Norris explained.
"If that's the case, even a little bit in somebody who's vaccinated could be a lot, he explains.
Infectious disease experts stress that vaccinated people also have fewer symptoms, are less likely to be hospitalized and are less likely to transmit.
