Fully vaccinated adults over age 65 dropped their risk of COVID-19 hospitalization by 94%, compared to ad, according to a small study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
"The findings suggest that SARS-CoV-2 vaccines can reduce the risk for COVID-19–associated hospitalization and, as a consequence of preventing severe COVID-19, vaccination might have an impact on post-COVID conditions (e.g., "long COVID") and deaths," CDC researchers wrote. Findings posted Wednesday drew from 417 patients over age 65, including 230 controls who tested negative for the virus and 187 patients who tested positive, spanning 24 hospitals in over a dozen states. More specifically, among the virus-positive patients, 10% were partially vaccinated before symptoms occurred, compared with 27% of control patients who were at least partially vaccinated. The proportion of the vaccines administered, between Pfizer and Moderna, was said to be similar (53% and 47% respectively).
