… One number that didn’t change between mid-July and early August: Case rates among unvaccinated Californians are still over 600% higher than those of the vaccinated. What’s more, more than 90% of the patients hospitalized with Covid in the state are unvaccinated.

The message in these numbers would seem to align with Governor Gavin Newsom’s drumbeat for the past month: “Just get vaccinated.” And vaccinations are on the rise.

State Health Officer Tomás Aragón reported on Wednesday that California administered 335,009 new first doses last week, a 24 percent increase compared to the previous two weeks. This is a 62% increase compared to the week of July 5-July 11.
