Four out of every 10 children aged 5-11 in Illinois have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose, according to new data from the Illinois Department of Public Health.
Data released Wednesday showed 40.01% of Illinois children 5-11 have received at least a dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, while 35.77% have received two doses. Three areas of the state are above 50% of 5-11 year olds with at least one dose, with DuPage County leading the way at 53.52%.
The IDPH reported 2,060 new confirmed and probable cases of COVID-19 and 10 additional deaths Wednesday.
For Tuesday, the state administered 23,670 shots.
From IDPH’s new data dashboard:
Case rate per 100,000: 13.7 (Down 0.1 from Tuesday)
Percentage of ICU beds available: 22%
COVID-19 diagnosed hospital admissions (7-day rolling average): 37
Weekly deaths reported: 71
Illinois has seen 3,088,725 total cases of the virus, and 33,499 people have died.
As of late Tuesday, Illinois had 519 COVID-19 patients in the hospital. Of those, 65 were in intensive care units, and 35 were on ventilators.
County-by-county update: As of Tuesday, the IDPH will provide a county-by-county update focusing on the case rate per 100,000 people, the percentage of ICU beds available, a rolling seven-day average of COVID-19 diagnosed hospital admissions, and weekly deaths.
The definition of a COVID-19 diagnosed hospital admission is as follows: The seven-day average of daily number of hospital admissions given a diagnosis of COVID-19 as measured using the Illinois Syndromic Surveillance System.
Illinois collects all emergency department and inpatient visits through syndromic surveillance from all acute care hospitals in Illinois in near-real time. Data is presented with a three-day lag to allow time for diagnosis to be reported.
At the county level, a visit is counted by where the patient resides. A patient with multiple visits will be counted for each visit. Admissions may not be because of COVID-19 as the primary cause. Syndromic surveillance data is not the same source used by CDC to report COVID-19 hospital admissions data.
