Good catch. I assume the first number includes mostly children since Delta is mostly spreading through schools and children won't get any vaccine.

Interesting. 57% fully vaccinated with phizer in Israel and 55% of new cases are vaccinated. Looks pretty even unlike what this report from the UK shows, hopefully the mortality rate is lower with phizer...

Israel's overall vax rate is higher than UK, so that would be expected to a degree.

There's also page 14 here, where more vaccinated than unvaccinated patients died:

Very odd, especially given the much higher numbers of unvaccinated hospitalizations.

Iām pretty sure this can be explained by the age distributions. Key part is page 44 where they calculate risks.

Ah, interesting, thanks! I was wondering.

Probably older, and then also the vaccinated people that seek medical care likely had less of an immune response to the vaccine.
35,251 unvax cases, 34 deaths
4,087 full vax cases, 26 deaths (!?)
I'm guessing the vax population still skews older?
