More than 600,000 Covid cases from April through mid-July were evaluated and connected to vaccination status.
Those who were unvaccinated had to do with 4.5 times most likely to contract the infection, more than 10 times most likely to be hospitalized with the infection, and 11 times most likely to pass away from the illness.
A previous CDC research study based upon information from simply 43,127 Covid cases in Los Angeles County in between May and July discovered that unvaccinated individuals were 5 times most likely to agreement Covid and 29 times most likely to be hospitalized with the infection.
About 54% of the U.S. population is totally immunized, according to the CDC.
