The Moderna shots have shown to be around 93% effective after six months without accounting for the Delta variant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\">The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported 6,915 hospitalizations related to COVID-19 in vaccinated people as of Aug. 2, but the answer to how risky COVID-19 is for the vaccinated isn\u2019t as simple as a single stat. Anecdotal accounts and a deep dive into the data indicates that a wide variety of experiences are possible when vaccinated and infected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\">The CDC doesn\u2019t track or publicly release nationwide\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/08\/05\/covid-coronavirus-breakthrough-delta-mask-mandate\/\" target=\"_blank\">breakthrough case<\/a>\u00a0data.
