To assess the impact of full vaccination with additional and booster doses (booster doses), case and death rates and incidence rate ratios (IRRs) were estimated among unvaccinated and fully vaccinated adults by receipt of booster doses during pre-Delta (AprilMay 2021), Delta emergence (June 2021), Delta predominance (JulyNovember 2021), and Omicron emergence (December 2021) periods in the United States.

A previous New York Times story had reported that, when releasing data on COVID-19-associated hospitalizations and deaths among people who are vaccinated and unvaccinated, with or without boosters, on Feb. 3, the CDC had not included hospitalization numbers for adults 18 through 49 perhaps because the numbers were too small. The CDC published that data on Feb. 17.

Thats because vaccination rates have grown only slightly during that period, yet the share of people dying who were vaccinated has risen more steeply (as shown in the chart above). Older people are at greater risk for severe illness and death from COVID-19 than younger people, but vaccines and boosters still lower that risk substantially. (McGraw-Hill Education, 2003).
