About 56% of adults in Missouri have received at least one Covid-19 vaccine dose and 39.4% of residents are fully vaccinated, CDC data shows. CoxHealth, along with other southwest Missouri Hospitals, is experiencing a surge of COVID-19 hospitalizations. Researchers observed the largest difference in the resting heart rate of positive participants versus negative. In 32 participants, resting heart rate remained more than 5 beats per minute higher than their baseline for over 133 days. Researchers say the study should encourage everyone to get a Covid-19 vaccine, particularly those people who are at a high risk for developing severe disease.
