246 infected, 3 dead from COVID-19 in Michigan despite being vaccinated
The state is investigating hundreds of “breakthrough” COVID infections. They are a tiny sliver of confirmed cases among nearly 1.7 million vaccinated Michiganders.
At least 246 people in Michigan who were “fully vaccinated” against COVID-19 were later diagnosed with the virus, including 11 who were hospitalized and three who have died, according to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.
More than 1.8 million Michigan residents have completed their COVID-19 vaccinations, according to the state.
The case numbers, while minuscule, underscore two warnings made consistently by public health officials: that the vaccines provide no absolute guarantee against getting an infection, and that masks and other safety protocols remain important after being vaccinated as long as the pandemic continues to rage.
