Hospitalization rate for unvaccinated over 12 (380 per 100,000) 5 times higher than vaccinated with a full course of 120 days (84 per 100,000) and 9 times higher than vaccinated with boosters (41 per 100,000). These are the data contained in the extended report of the Higher Institute of Health (Iss), published today, which accompanies the weekly monitoring. The mortality rate (24/12 / 2021-23 / 01/2022) for the unvaccinated is about 19 times higher on vaccinated with boosters (6 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants) while hospitalizations in intensive care (31/12/2021 -30/01/2022) of 20 times greater for the unvaccinated than those who had the booster.
“Finally we see the contagion curve bend to the right side: I think it is right to look forward to the next few weeks with confidence. Our national community has risen to the challenge posed by the scientific community. Vaccines and boosters run very fast. “Thus the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranzaat the Action Congress.
“Over the last few weeks there has been a decrease in the number of reported cases, hospitalizations and ICU admissions.” The Higher Institute of Health (ISS) reiterates this in its extended report that accompanies the weekly monitoring. The percentage of cases reported with asymptomatic initial clinical status, approximately 73%, has slightly increased in the last week, while the median age of the subjects reported in the last 14 days is 37 years, stable compared to the last week.
From 24 August to 16 February 2022 reported 218,857 cases of reinfection (3% of the total cases notified). In the last week the percentage was 3.2%, slightly down on the previous week (3.4%). Since last December 6 (start of spread of Omicron), an increase in the risk of reinfection (values significantly greater than 1) has been detected in those recovered from Covid-19 for over 210 days; in unvaccinated or vaccinated with at least one dose for over 120 days; in females compared to males (due to greater screening), in the age group 12 to 49 and in healthcare workers. This is what emerges from the extended report of the ISS.
