- People not fully vaccinated were diagnosed with COVID-19 at a rate 3x higher than people who were fully vaccinated.
- People not fully vaccinated were hospitalized with COVID-19 at a rate 10x higher than people who were fully vaccinated.
- People not fully vaccinated died from COVID-19 at a rate 14x higher than people who were fully vaccinated.

However among each 100,000 of unvaccinated Wisconsinites, there have been 4,700 positive cases, 175 hospitalizations and 50 deaths.
