Parishes with highest COVID-19 infection rates in Louisiana

<p>The vaccine deployment in December 2020 signaled a turning point in the COVID-19 pandemic. By the <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/28/covid-19-cases-deaths-vaccinations-daily-update.html">end of May 2021</a>, 40% of the U.S. population was fully vaccinated. But as vaccination rates lagged over the summer, new surges of COVID-19 came, including Delta in the summer of 2021, and now the Omicron variant, which comprises the <a href="https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#variant-proportions">majority of cases</a> in the U.S.</p><p>Researchers around the world have reported that Omicron is <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2021/12/21/covid-omicron-not-march-2020/8967351002/">more transmissible</a> than Delta, making breakthrough and repeat infections more likely. </p><p>The United States as of Jun. 22 reached over 1 million COVID-19-related deaths and 86.5 million COVID-19 cases, according to <a href="https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html">Johns Hopkins University.</a> Currently, 66.8% of the population is <a href="https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#vaccinations_vacc-people-onedose-pop-5yr">fully vaccinated</a>, and 47.2% of vaccinated people have received booster doses.</p><p><a href="https://www.stacker.com/louisiana">Stacker</a> compiled a list of the parishes with highest COVID-19 infection rates in Louisiana using data from the <a href="https://beta.healthdata.gov/Health/COVID-19-Community-Profile-Report/gqxm-d9w9">U.S. Department of Health & Human Services</a> and vaccination data from <a href="https://covidactnow.org/?s=27811671">Covid Act Now</a>.
