In America, about 5,800 people who have been administered COVID-19 vaccines have been infected by the virus, reported the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

‘The health agency called on all eligible people to get a Covid-19 vaccine as soon as possible and urged fully vaccinated individuals to keep up precautions, such as wearing masks and social distancing, to avoid contracting the disease. ’

Vaccine breakthrough infections make up a small percentage of people who are fully vaccinated, less than 1 percent, according to the CDC. 




Among the 5,800 "breakthrough" cases, some became seriously ill and 74 people died, it said.
Meanwhile, 396 cases, 7% of those who got infected after they were vaccinated, required hospitalization.
