One of the new items I am watching on the Maryland Department of Health COVID-19 dashboard is the “Post-Vaccination Infections” section at the bottom of this page: https://coronavirus.maryland.gov/.
At the moment this looks to be updating weekly (there was data reported from January 26 - August 15, 2021 and now there is data reported from January 26 - August 22, 2021). Noted on the bottom of the section: “Note: Data are refreshed Wednesdays and include cases reported through Monday. All data are preliminary and subject to change based on additional reporting“.
I have begun adding this data into my own spreadsheet for tracking. Here are the changes to that section of the website I have noted:
COVID-19 cases among fully vaccinated Maryland residents:
- Reported through August 15th: 7,033
- Reported through August 22nd: 9,079
- Change: +2,046
Cases hospitalized among fully vaccinated:
- Reported through August 15th: 627
- Reported through August 22nd: 733
- Change: +106
Lab-confirmed COVID-19 deaths in Maryland among fully vaccinated:
- Reported through August 15th: 71
- Reported through August 22nd: 76
- Change: +5
Percentage of all confirmed COVID-19 cases in Maryland since January 2021 have been among fully vaccinated individuals
- Reported through August 15th: 5.30%
- Reported through August 22nd: 6.50%
- Change: +1.2%
Here is a screenshot of the data available today:
I pulled the statewide data for total cases of COVID-19 for the week leading up to August 22nd. The total number of new COVID-19 cases leading up to that date was 7,016 for the week:
Date | Total Cases | New Cases (day) | New Cases (7 days)
| 2021/08/16 14:00:00+00 | 480718 | 766 | 6163 |
| 2021/08/17 14:00:00+00 | 481569 | 851 | 6385 |
| 2021/08/18 14:00:00+00 | 482581 | 1012 | 6511 |
| 2021/08/19 14:00:00+00 | 483641 | 1060 | 6524 |
| 2021/08/20 14:00:00+00 | 484847 | 1206 | 6780 |
| 2021/08/21 14:00:00+00 | 485978 | 1131 | 6895 |
| 2021/08/22 14:00:00+00 | 486968 | 990 | 7016 |
Because of the way the data is reported on the dashboard I am not totally clear on if the 2,000+ new cases are out of the 7,000+ total cases or if the state is still pulling data further back to get the 2,000+ new cases reported on August 22nd. Hopefully we get better reporting and explanation of this data in the future.
I will continue to track what is reported in this section of the dashboard until the state provides this type of tracking on the dashboard.
