   In an effort to be more transparent, the Minnesota Department of   
   Health on Friday released new data for how many vaccinated   
   Minnesotans have been hospitalized and died from COVID-19.   
      
   "We've been accused of not being transparent and somehow   
   withholding information. Our goal is to be transparent and   
   that's why we are making these data available," said Kris   
   Ehresmann, MDH infectious diseases director.   
      
   There is a lag time in the data, but through Oct. 3, 2021 the   
   health department has confirmed 64,844 breakthrough infections,   
   2,956 hospitalizations and 483 deaths.   
      
   The 483 deaths of vaccinated people represent 5% of the 8,996   
   COVID-19 deaths in Minnesota since the beginning of the   
   pandemic, and 11.1% of the 4,338 COVID deaths since the first   
   Minnesotan was vaccinated in mid-December.   
      
   However, there has been a recent rise in deaths among the   
   vaccinated, who made up 41% of the deaths between Sept. 5 and   
   Oct. 9, and around 30% of the hospitalizations. It was always   
   going to be the case statistically that the number of   
   breakthrough COVID deaths would rise the greater the proportion   
   of Minnesotans got vaccinated, but there have been some concerns   
   that those who got their vaccines early on may be experiencing   
   waning immunity, leading to calls for them to get booster shots.
