Definition of a post vaccination case used to produce these estimates: A post vaccination case is defined as a case who has received a positive molecular (eg. PCR) test for SARS-CoV-2 & whose episode date occurs 14 or more days after the date they completed their full one-dose or two-dose COVID-19 vaccination series. Post vaccination cases are identified by comparing El Dorado County’s confirmed case data against the immunization database. Please note that this process may not identify every post vaccination infection, and this figure should be considered an estimate. When additional guidance is released from the California Department of Public Health regarding how post vaccination cases should be identified, this estimate will likely change.
