TULSA, Okla. — Vaccinations are growing again in Oklahoma following a mid-summer surge of COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations among mostly unvaccinated people, according to new data.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tracks daily doses of COVID-19 vaccines being administered, as well as new COVID-19 cases.
As the virus, primarily the delta variant, has caused a new surge, the data shows a simultaneous increase in vaccinations.
According to CDC data, the 7-day moving average of doses administered reached 8,027 on July 28 before the consistent dip in vaccinations seen on weekends.
On June 28, the 7-day moving average was only 5,432.
In the same timespan, the 7-day moving average of new COVID-19 cases in Oklahoma increased from 203 to 1,268.
