Washington-Sana
New data published by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealed that adults who did not receive the Corona vaccine are 11 times more likely to die from the disease compared to fully vaccinated adults in the United States during the month of August.
According to data published by CNN, the risk of death due to Covid 19 for fully vaccinated adults did not exceed 1.2 per 100,000 people.
Although the risk of death for unvaccinated adults has decreased in recent weeks with the frequency of new cases dropping across the country from 13 deaths per 100,000 people to 9 deaths per 100,000 people, it is still higher than the mortality rate among vaccinated people.
An analysis by the Kaiser Family Foundation estimates that as of last Wednesday, there have been more than 90,000 preventable COVID-19 deaths among unvaccinated adults over the past three months, with more than half occurring during September alone.
After falling to seventh place in the list of the leading causes of death in the United States last July, Covid 19 returned to second place in September, according to the foundation.
Unvaccinated adults were 6 times more likely to contract COVID-19 over the course of the month and in the last week of August were 19 times more likely to be hospitalized with illness than fully vaccinated adults.
Some states and local jurisdictions have recently begun to post data on the number of COVID-19 cases and death and hospitalization rates by vaccination status on their dashboards. The CDC is working with health departments to link case monitoring data to vaccination information systems for their own analysis.
