Hospital Report, Vaccines
The Georgia Hospital Association (GHA) and the Georgia Emergency Management Agency (GEMA) reported on Sunday that the number of COVID-19 patients at area hospitals (32) increased by three from the day before, the number of ICU beds in use (58) increased by two from the day before, and the number of adult ventilators in use (30) was unchanged from the day before.
The Department of Public Health released data on Sunday showing that 16.5 percent of the population of the Northeast Health District is now fully vaccinated.
The figure had been 16.3 on Saturday.
The District is not keeping up with the state, which has 19.2 percent of the population vaccinated. That figure had been 18.7 on Saturday.
Oconee County has the highest percent of its population vaccinated in the 10-county District with 25.2 percent. Clarke County is at 18.3 percent.
These percentages are based on the population figures given by the Department of Public Health in the Daily Status Report.
The State Vaccine Distribution Dashboard reports higher percentages for the 10 counties in the Northeast Health District (it does not report the data for the District itself) by using lower estimates of the population sizes.
