JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - Missouri's health department says few fully vaccinated Missourians later caught COVID-19 and even fewer died from the virus.

Data released this week by the agency show 2% of fully vaccinated people caught the virus. Only .02% of fully vaccinated Missourians died from coronavirus.

Other newly reported data show about 6,300 Missourians caught COVID-19 more than once throughout the pandemic. The state also is now reporting another close to 2,800 deaths likely caused by the virus. That number represents probable coronavirus deaths.
