On another board, someone wanted to know about vaccination vs hospitalization.
A first question is what is "vaccination"? Â 1 shot of J&J or 3 shots of Moderna? Â Omicron or Delta?
A second thing to note is you have to look at case rates (per 100K in the category) not absolute numbers.
The CDC site for this wasn't useful. Â Their death data is a bit better, but stops just before Omicron hits.
The best I quickly found is out of the state of Washington, with data up to this week.
Case rates:
12-34yo: Â case rates are unvaccinated are 3x higher than "fully vaccinated"
35-64yo: Â 4x
65+: Â 6x
Hospitalization
12-34yo: Â 8x
35-64yo: Â 11x
65+: 11x
Deaths
65+: Â 15x
 Note:  partially vaccinated are now dying at the same rate as fully vaccinated.  The death rate for unvaccinated is falling faster than for fully vaccinated.
