173 US counties have COVID-19 cases above 100 per 100,000 people, per new CDC data.
Almost every one of those counties has vaccinated fewer than 40%, the CDC director said.
The unvaccinated are "particularly at risk" from the Delta variant, she said.

The overwhelming majority of counties where COVID-19 cases are surging have low vaccination rates, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
However, people who have not been vaccinated "remain susceptible, especially from the transmissible Delta variant, and are particularly at risk for severe illness and death," Walensky said.
