The majority of hospitalized COVID-19 patients have this in common

As the pandemic worsens, doctors from across the country are reporting fewer hospitalizations. What do they all have in common? The patients admitted to the hospital are not vaccinated.

“Less than 1% of our hospitalized COVID patients are vaccinated,” said Dr. Infectious disease expert Mark Sannes told USA Today.

It is very unlikely that vaccinated people will get seriously ill and be hospitalized for COVID-19, which makes it all the more urgent and important for unvaccinated people to get their vaccination.

According to current hospital data, the hospitals with the highest hospital admission rates tend to be in states with low vaccination rates. These include Idaho, Wyoming, Arkansas, and Missouri.

As the vaccine program evolves, doctors see a distinct change. A year ago, the hospitalized patients were more likely to be senior citizens or people with previous illnesses. Well, the majority of people in hospitals are young adults who haven’t had their syringes yet.

Despite the government’s efforts to motivate people to get the vaccine, some remain reluctant, whether because of suspicion of vaccines, not getting their working hours off, or because of an inconvenient location. Although both shots of the vaccine are free, a small group of people believe vaccination will result in billed costs later.

While it is up to everyone to get their vaccination, vaccinations have an impact on the community. When people get their vaccination, they make it easier to protect their family members, from the people they live with to those who have not yet been vaccinated.

Despite conspiracy theories and concerns about vaccine side effects, data and evidence prove how effective these vaccines are against the virus.
