Coronavirus
Unvaccinated Adults Are 23 Times More Likely to Be Hospitalized With Covid
Unvaccinated adults were 23 times more likely to be hospitalized with COVID-19 during the omicron wave than adults who were vaccinated and boosted, according to a new study that further highlights the importance of coronavirus vaccination and booster shots.
The study, released Tuesday, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found by far the highest rates of cases and hospitalizations among unvaccinated people, followed by vaccinated but not boosted people, with vaccinated and boosted people having the most protection.
The study used data from Los Angeles County as of Jan. 8, during the omicron wave.
