By the numbers: Of 37,948 hospitalizations in 13 jurisdictions studied between April and July, 2,976 patients— or about 8% — were vaccinated, Axios' Noah Garfinkel reports.

• Of 6,748 deaths, 616 — or about 9% — were people who were fully vaccinated.

The three vaccines "showed continued robust protection for all adults — greater than 82 percent — for hospitalization, emergency room and urgent care trips," The Washington Post reports.

• Another study found the Moderna vaccine most effective against Delta. But Pfizer and J&J also worked.

People are still coming forward to report illnesses that might be related to the 9/11 attacks, AP reports.

• More charter boats are offering great-white tours. Whale- and seal-watching excursions have long been a tourist rite of passage.

Since the 2018 attacks, Cape officials have invested in better training and equipment for lifeguards, as great whites migrate in ever larger numbers to feast on the region’s bountiful seal population.

• A group of residents and vacationers formed a nonprofit to push for  shark safety measures like undersea detection and drone surveillance.

Surfers arm themselves with shark repellents, including devices that emit electrical fields that supposedly deter but don’t harm sharks.
