What percentage of new COVID cases in NGHS are unvaccinated?

The NGHS reported 79 COVID-positive patients in all of their hospitals on Wednesday, July 28, up from 27 COVID-positive patients on July 21.

According to hospital officials, 92% of these COVID positive patients are unvaccinated and the average age of the patients is 57 years.

According to the Georgia Department of Public Health, the seven-day moving average of PCR tests that returned positive in Hall County was 10.9%.

The positive rate is now double the rate at which NGHS had to be considered low transmission in the community, which allowed NGHS officials to relax certain visiting restrictions and testing for their patients.

The COVID positive patient stats are close to what they were in early March and last November. NGHS officials were not answering questions about the severity of the cases presented at the hospital at the time of going to press.

The infographics on the DPH website show that older age groups are vaccinated more often than younger ones.

In Hall County, 96.6% of people ages 75 to 84 received at least one dose, and that number increases to 99.8% for those over 85 years of age.

Conversely, 31.4% of Hall residents between 25 and 34 received at least one dose, and 38.1% of 35-44 year olds received an injection.

Hall County Court Administrator Jason Stephenson said there will be no changes to the logs at this point “while we review the latest Centers for Disease Control and Prevention policies and continue to monitor local trends and conditions.”
