People who are not vaccinated against the Coronavirus are 11 times more likely to die from the disease than those fully vaccinated, the first of the three major studies recently published by the US CDC has revealed.
According to the study, unvaccinated people are 5 times more likely to contract COVID-19 and 10 times more likely to be hospitalized due to the disease.
The second study found that Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine is more effective at preventing hospitalization than the vaccines developed by Pfizer and J&J.
Moderna is 95% effective at preventing hospitalization, Pfizer 80%, and J&J 60%, whereas, the three vaccines are collectively 86% effective at preventing hospitalization.
The third study evaluated the effectiveness of the only two mRNA-based Coronavirus vaccines in the world; Moderna and Pfizer.
It found that the mRNA vaccines are collectively 87% effective at preventing hospitalization. Among people aged between 18 and 64 years, the effectiveness of both vaccines is 95%. For those aged 65 years or above, it drops to 80%.
