MORRIS, Ill. (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- One far southwest suburban hospital is now breaking down how many of its COVID patients have had boosters.
At the request of physicians, Morris Hospital will now differentiate between hospitalized patients who are “vaccinated," meaning they have completed their primary series, but haven’t had a booster, and patients who have received a booster, according to a Facebook post.
Currently, according to the Morris Hospital COVID-19 Daily Report, out of 34 patients hospitalized with COVID-19, only three have been boosted. Ten are vaccinated, meaning they have received either two doses of Moderna or Pfizer or the one-shot course of Johnson and Johnson. Additionally, 21 people are unvaccinated.
Of the nine in intensive care units with COVID-19, five are unvaccinated and four are vaccinated, but not boosted. Additionally, six people are in the ICU on ventilators, and of those four are unvaccinated and two are vaccinated, but not boosted.
According to Morris Hospital, physicians asked that they distinguish between those boosted and not in their effort "keep the community up-to-date with factual data on what’s happening at the hospital every day."
