(CNN) Nearly half of House Republicans still won't say publicly​ whether they are vaccinated against Covid-19, even as new cases rise nationwide. "I don't think it's anybody's damn business whether I'm vaccinated or not," Republican Rep. Chip Roy of Texas told CNN. Since CNN last reported on members' vaccination statuses in May, CNN​ has learned of 17 more House Republicans had been vaccinated. CNN confirmed that 114 of 211 Republicans in the House have been vaccinated, meaning 54% of the conference. "It is not the Senate Republicans, but the House Republicans have been criminally negligent when it comes to how they have approached the vaccination campaign."
