The Directorate for Research, Studies, Evaluation and Statistics published figures on November 15 that illustrate the effect of vaccination on serious Covid cases and deaths.
- Hospitalizations for serious cases of Covid-19 like deaths are much higher in the unvaccinated
- This applies to all age groups
These are figures that shed light on the debate around the real effectiveness of anti-Covid vaccination at a time when access to the third dose is opening up for more vulnerable people. With a comparable population, between October 25 and 31, among those over 20, there were 9 times more admissions to critical care among unvaccinated people than among those who are vaccinated. And in the period running from October 4 to 31, 9 times more deaths among the unvaccinated. Such are the figures communicated on November 15 by the DREESS.
In absolute value, this represents 29 unvaccinated people out of a million admitted to critical care from October 25 to 31, compared to 3 admissions over the same period for vaccinated people. Same gap between the vaccinated and the unvaccinated for so-called “conventional” hospitalizations, that is to say not treating serious cases of Covid-19, with 12 admissions for the first against 81 for the unvaccinated.
A gap that is found in all age groups
The DREESS also reviewed the effects of vaccination by age group. For 20-39 year olds, the hospitalization rate for the unvaccinated over the period of October is, according to this organization, 5 per million, a rate which drops to 0.4 per million among vaccinated people. belonging to this age group. For the 29-49 age group, the hospitalization rate for the unvaccinated is 10 per million and only 0.5 per million for the vaccinated.
Figures for older unvaccinated show that hospitalizations were 19 per million for those aged 60-79 and 30 per million for those over 80.
