Almost half the people who were hospitalized with COVID-19 last spring had been fully vaccinated and received a third dose or booster shot

Laboratory-Confirmed COVID-19–Associated Hospitalizations Among Adults During SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.2 Variant Predominance
Data from the COVID-19–Associated Hospitalization Surveillance Network
March 20–May 31, 2022
Among hospitalized nonpregnant patients
39.1% had received a primary vaccination series and 1 booster (3 jabs)
5.0% had received a primary series and ≥2 boosters (4 jabs)
39.1 + 5 = 44.1%
(Medscape is correct, well under by 0.1%)
Therefore, CDC advises
All adults should stay up to date† with COVID-19 vaccination,
multiple nonpharmaceutical and medical prevention measures should be used to protect those at high risk for severe COVID-19 illness,
irrespective of vaccination status
Why?
Unvaccinated adults were 3.4 times more likely to be hospitalized with COVID than those who were vaccinated
Also in this CDC report
Hospitalization rates among adults aged ≥65 years,
increased threefold
Hospitalization rates in adults aged 18–49 and 50–64 years,
both increased 1.7-fold during omicron surge

New Zealand drops mask and vaccine mandates in sweeping Covid changes

Deaths, 1,950 (about 50 at the end of 2021)
Hospitalisations, (NZ key metric) down sharply in recent weeks
Jacinda Ardern
Today marks a milestone in our response.
Finally, rather than feeling that Covid dictates what happens to us,
our lives, and our futures,
we take back control
Mask-wearing, only compulsory in healthcare settings
(largely ignored anyway)
End of vaccine mandates, for workers and inbound travellers
Tests on arrival in NZ, encouraged
Covid-positives, still required to isolate (no longer household contacts)
This will be the first summer in three years where there won’t be the question of what we will and what won’t be cancelled because of Covid cases
