Arkansas Hospital Says Not a Single ICU Patient is Vaccinated as Delta Surges [View all]

Officials at Arkansas' largest healthcare organization said not a single COVID-19 patient at Baptist Health Medical Center Little Rock's intensive care unit (ICU) is vaccinated.

"The vast majority of patients that are in the hospital are not vaccinated," Dr. Eric Bravo, the medical director of Baptist Health's hospitalist program, told Newsweek on Wednesday. "I would say, I have not personally seen anybody in the ICU that's been vaccinated."

On Tuesday, Arkansas' COVID-19 hospitalizations reached its highest since January 27. The state's department of health reported that 387 patients are in intensive care and 205 patients are on ventilators. Only three percent of Arkansas' ICU beds remain available.
