A medical professional prepares a Pfizer vaccine during a pop-up COVID-19 vaccine clinic operated by Dallas County Health and Human Services outside of the Garibaldi Bazaar along East RL Thornton Freeway in Dallas, on Sept. 25, 2021. DCHHS are hosting pop-up vaccine clinics in areas with low vaccination rates, such as the community surrounding the bazaar.
The department’s data on cases and deaths by vaccination status also contributed to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention article published Friday on vaccine effectiveness at reducing the risk of COVID-19 infection and associated death.Over 62% of Texans ages 5 and older are fully vaccinated against the coronavirus. That total jumps to nearly 84% for people ages 65 and older. In North Texas, 61% of eligible people are fully vaccinated.
Vaccines, which experts consider one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of COVID-19, provided some protection against the new, highly-contagious omicron variant. Unvaccinated Texans were two times more likely to test positive for the virus as of Dec. 24 compared to fully vaccinated people.The pandemic has hammered the U.S. economy by crushing the ability of immigrant workers to fill jobs, according to a growing number of studies.
