Breakthrough Cases
Last Updated:
04/08/2022
Vaccine breakthrough cases are expected. COVID-19 vaccines are effective and are a critical tool to bring the pandemic under control. However, no vaccines are 100% effective at preventing illness in vaccinated people.
Of the 610,228 fully vaccinated Delawareans, there have been 23,037 breakthrough cases of COVID-19, roughly 3.78%.

The total number of breakthrough cases shown is based on verified information provided by interviewed cases. Efforts are underway to provide more complete information by data matching positive cases (regardless of ability to be reached for an interview) with the state’s vaccine database, DelVAX. Therefore, the cumulative number of breakthrough cases may be updated in the future to reflect new and more complete information. A note announcing this change will be posted when implemented.
DPH will replace the below metric on breakthrough cases, with data showing the percent of individuals with COVID who are not up to date on their vaccines as it is a more useful indicator. Until that is implemented, we will no longer update the breakthrough case data.

Trends
Newark over the Last 14 Days
Case counts and test data by date of report can vary significantly from day to day for a variety of reasons. In addition to changes due to actual changes in disease incidence, trends are strongly influenced by testing patterns (who gets tested and why), testing availability, lab analysis backlogs, lab reporting delays, new labs joining our electronic laboratory reporting system, mass screenings, etc.
Percent Positive
Last Updated:
06/27/2022
Percent of tests that are positive is a helpful indicator in understanding the spread of infection in a community.
It indicates the total number of specimens tested, including when an individual is tested more than once. This metric is widely used by other states and the Federal government, and is therefore useful to compare Delaware to other jurisdictions.
Data for percent of tests that are positive are based on the testing date. There is a two-day lag for presenting data related to percent of tests that are positive to account for the time delay between the date of the test and the date that DPH receives the test result.
