As predicted by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, the number of COVID-19 breakthroughs — cases involving people fully immunized against the disease — has been rising in recent months. But this increase isn't equal in all parts of the state. Many counties are seeing infections — some serious enough to require hospital admissions — at a rate considerably higher than the state average.

Summit County is a prime example. Out of a total of 872 cases of the coronavirus between April 1 and September 7, 208 are fully immunized individuals — well over 20 percent. And the jump between June and September was more than twenty-fold.

In "The Real Story of Colorado COVID Breakthrough Cases," we included county-by-county CDPHE statistics related to breakthrough cases and hospitalizations between April 1 and June 1. Earlier this week, at Westword's request, the department provided updated data covering the period between April 1 and September 7.

The overall state average for current breakthrough hospitalizations stands at 8.9 percent. But hospitalization stats weren't provided for many counties — particularly ones with comparatively low populations and limited resources. Of those for which numbers are available, many have experienced an above-average hospitalization count. Denver, for example, counted 73 breakthrough hospitalizations among 690 total hospitalizations between April 1 and September 7 — a rate of over 10 percent.

The case counts are more widely accessible. Summit County had ten breakthrough cases between April 1 and June 1, but 208 between April 1 and September 7 — and it's not the only place to blow past the state average of 12.7 percent. Broomfield County went from 27 breakthrough cases from April 1 and June 1 to 248 between April 1 and September 7.

Here is the available information on breakthrough cases and hospitalizations for all 64 Colorado counties, complete with comparisons between data from April 1 to June 1 and April 1 to September 7.
