Covid vaccines are virtually 100 percent effective at protecting people from getting sick enough from the virus to need to be hospitalized, new, real-world data reveal. Of about 2,000 caregivers in the study who tested positive for COVID, only 0.3% - or about six people - were fully vaccinated. Meanwhile, 99.75 percent of COVID patients admitted to the center's hospitals during the study period were not fully vaccinated. For example, a recent CDC report found that these two vaccines were 94 percent effective against COVID hospitalization for fully vaccinated adults. This represents a tiny fraction of the 118 million Americans who are fully vaccinated: about 0.008 percent.
