Note to readers: Tarrant County Public Health does not release data on the vaccination status of recently-diagnosed patients or deaths. Officials have released this type of data once in June, and it showed that nearly 100% of the new cases reported at the time (from May to mid-June) were in people who were not vaccinated. Further, county officials said less than 200 of those new cases at the time were in previously-vaccinated Tarrant residents.
