People who are not vaccinated against Covid-19 were 11 times more likely to die of the disease and 10 times more likely to be hospitalized with the disease, a study published by CDC shows.
The study looked at 600,000 Covid-19 cases in 13 states from April through mid-July."The bottom line is this: We have the scientific tools we need to turn the corner on this pandemic. Vaccination works and will protect us from the severe complications of Covid-19," CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said Friday. Citing the study, Walensky said those who were unvaccinated were about four and a half times more likely to get Covid-19.
The Moderna vaccine was the most effective in reducing hospitalization, the study found. Among all ages, the Moderna vaccine had a 95% effectiveness, while the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine had an 80% effectiveness and the Johnson & Johnson vaccine had a 60% effectiveness. Overall, vaccine effectiveness was lower among those age 75 and older,"which had not been observed previously" in this sample network.
