Average age at death 74
Overall, vaccination rates among nursing home staffers across the state are fairly high: 75% on average. The problem, the state says, is that 41% of the 378 nursing homes in Massachusetts, or 155, had staff vaccination rates below that average.
... with 34,044 confirmed or probable cases of COVID-19 among residents and staff of nursing homes as of July 30, the state has seen a five-fold increase in nursing home cases over the past 30 days, according to the order.

Folks, here are the important stats at the END of the article.
โ Breakthrough hospitalizations account for about 25% of current COVID-19 hospitalizations. Those who are unvaccinated are at a much higher risk for a severe case and hospitalization.
There have been 762 hospitalizations among fully vaccinated people in Massachusetts, which is 0.02% of those who are fully vaxxed.
The 762 total patients is a one-week increase of 111 fully vaxxed patients. The previous weekly increase was 80 fully vaxxed patients.
The state has reported 162 breakthrough deaths, or 0.004% of those who are fully vaxxed. Thatโs a one-week increase of 18 deaths. The previous weekly increase was 13 deaths, and the week before that was seven deaths.โ
