In the last 30 days, among people over-80 the hospitalization rate among unvaccinated subjects is 9 times higher than in fully vaccinated, i.e. with two doses: the rate is in fact 187.8 versus 21.1 hospitalizations per 100 thousand inhabitants. The rate of intensive hospitalization is 15 times lower in the vaccinated (1.0 versus 14.6). The data emerges from the extended surveillance report published by the Higher Institute of Health (Iss), which completes the weekly monitoring.
The importance of completing the vaccination cycle with the two doses is then confirmed. The effectiveness in preventing hospitalization rises to 84.1% for vaccination with an incomplete cycle and to 93.9% for that with a full cycle. The efficacy in preventing ICU admissions is 90.8% for the incomplete course vaccination and 96.0% for the full course vaccination. Finally, the efficacy in preventing death is 84.0% for the incomplete course vaccination and 96.6% for the full course vaccination. Most of the cases notified in the last 30 days in Italy were therefore diagnosed in unvaccinated people
