The federal government data from the Centre for Disease Control says vaccinated people have a 0.004 percent chance of ending up in hospital with Covid-19 and it’s an even lower figure when it comes to developing severe illness which results in death.

Out of 163 million vaccinated citizens, only around 6,000 have experienced a severe breakthrough Covid-19 infection

As of August 2, more than 191.8 million people have received at least one dose of a #COVID19 vaccine. Of those, 164.9 million are fully vaccinated.

The statistics are a promising sign on the road to normalcy as many nations continue to open up and move into a post-pandemic world.
