Covid-19: Vaccinated (full vaccine and a booster) Vs Unvaccinated --- Death and Hospitalisation. Information Source Straits Times 2022-02-10

The first three statistics are from the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention's latest surveys.

First, unvaccinated adults 18 years and older are 16 times more likely to be hospitalised for Covid-19 than fully vaccinated adults.

Second, adults 65 and older who are not vaccinated are around 50 times more likely to be hospitalised for Covid-19 than those who have received a full vaccine course and a booster.

Third, unvaccinated people are 20 times more likely to die of Covid-19 than people who are vaccinated and boosted.

The fourth statistic is from a survey from the staffing firm Cross Country Healthcare and Florida Atlantic University's College of Nursing, released last December. It found that the emotional toll and other work conditions brought on by the pandemic contributed to some two-thirds of nurses giving thought to leaving the profession.
