WASHINGTON - As coronavirus cases, hospitalizations and deaths continue to surge in the United States, a new study shows unvaccinated people are nearly 11 times more likely to die from COVID-19, and about as likely to be hospitalized with the coronavirus, according to the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The study, released by the CDC, looked at more than 600,000 COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths in 13 states between April and July.
During the studied time period, a total of 92% of COVID-19 cases, 92% of hospitalizations and 91% of COVID-19–associated deaths were reported among persons not fully vaccinated.
