Numbers from the state Department of Health from January through August show that vaccines work.

Acting Secretary of Health Alison Beam says:

"94% of cases reported during this time period were in unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated people".

And that means the chance of a breakthrough COVID case is about 5.5% for the fully vaccinated.

Beam says Pennsylvanians who don't get shots are about seven times more likely to be infected.
