Through June 30, Oregon Health Authority has identified 1,790 COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough cases. There were 7,241 cases of COVID-19 in June and 92% of these cases were among people who were unvaccinated. More than 9 in 10 of the 63 COVID-19-associated deaths in June were among people who were not vaccinated. The majority of vaccine-breakthrough associated deaths have occurred in the elderly. The number of vaccine breakthrough cases identified in Oregon remains very small when compared to the more than 2.18 million people who have completed their COVID-19 vaccination series. Vaccine breakthrough cases are defined as instances in which an individual received a positive COVID-19 test result at least 14 days following the completion of any COVID-19 vaccine series. Of the 1,790 reported vaccine breakthrough cases, approximately 10% (n=177) were observed in individuals who reside in long-term care facilities or other congregate care settings. OHA provides updates on breakthrough cases the first Thursday of each month. The current breakthrough report can be found on the OHA website.
