"Vaccinated individuals are less likely to be hospitalised than unvaccinated individuals as well as less likely to infect others." Overall, the model showed unvaccinated individuals were about 3.3 times more likely to be infected - and 25 times more likely to be hospitalised. "In reality, unvaccinated individuals are more likely to have unvaccinated contacts and so Covid-19 can spread very rapidly in unvaccinated populations." "A very recent study shows when a vaccinated person was infected they're nearly two out of three times less likely to infect unvaccinated households," he said.
