A new study shows that receiving an updated COVID vaccine reduced people’s risk of severe disease and death in all age groups.
💉Reduced people’s risk of ER by 29%
đź’‰Reduced risk of hospitalisations by 39%
đź’‰Reduced the risk of death by 64%
💉Vaccination was effective in all age groups and “in persons with or without major chronic conditions.”
Just 21 percent of the adult U.S. population got vaccinated against COVID last year—a proportion that has been steadily declining. With less vaccine-induced immunity, Perlman says, more people “would benefit even more from getting vaccinated this year.”
