Fox News
Two hospitals in San Francisco reported hundreds of staff infected with coronavirus in July, with breakthrough infections comprising the majority of cases.
As of August 2, 55 staff members out of over 7,000 staffers at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital are COVID-19 positive, and none of the infected staff have required hospitalization, a hospital spokesperson confirmed to Fox News. ABC7 reported that up to 80% of those infected were fully vaccinated. "Breakthrough cases were and still are expected," ZSFG hospital spokesperson Cristina Padilla wrote to Fox News. "We know vaccines won’t completely prevent infections, but they are very effective at making hospitalizations and death preventable."More Related News
