“Vaccines are doing what they are supposed to do: protecting the elderly from illnesses serious enough that they require hospitalization,” said Jason Salemi, an epidemiologist at the University of South Florida in Tampa, in an email. “The problem is that there are still 1 million older adults in the state who are not vaccinated at any dose and another 700,000 who are not fully vaccinated. We know that previous increases in cases finally ‘found’ those who are vulnerable. “
