Fully Vaccinated Reduces COVID-19 Death Risk To 0.4% According To New Study

July 20, 2021

New research from India’s second wave shows that our COVID-19 vaccines are effectively curbing deaths and hospitalisations for the Delta strain. A new study led by the Indian Council of Medical Research’s Nivedita Gupta shows that amongst patients infected after vaccination, only 0.4% died from COVID-19, with 10% needing hospitalization. 86% of these ‘breakthrough’ cases amongst vaccinated persons were caused by the delta variant.

This study demonstrates the crucial role of vaccines in preventing COVID-19 deaths and hospitalizations. India has primarily used the AstraZeneca Covishield vaccine, with a little over 6% of the population vaccinated and a further 17.3% partially vaccinated. As we face our own wave of Delta infections, it is a timely reminder to get vaccinated if you are eligible.
