⚫️ Vaccine effectiveness versus hospitalization continues to remain strong now that Omicron is dominant in New York State
While I cannot sit and write 3000, here’s a few: Vaccines work. The COVID-19 vaccines are extremely effective at preventing serious illness, hospitalization, AND death.
Just a friendly reminder. If you test positive for SARS-COV-2 after being vaccinated and are experiencing mild symptoms or even no symptoms at all?
Congratulations.
Your vaccine worked.
The term infection refers to the virus entering and being detectable in your system regardless of whether OR NOT it makes you sick, whereas the term illness refers to the virus entering, being detectable in your system AND making you sick. It it important not to conflate the two.
“The first thing to know about the COVID-19 vaccines is that they’re doing exactly what they were designed and authorized to do. Since the vaccines first started their rollout, rates of COVID-19 disease have taken an unprecedented plunge among the immunized.”
Just a friendly reminder. Despite what you might hear, there has yet to be a variant that isn’t susceptible to the vaccines.

In regards to BA.2. Per @tuliodna, WHO stated:
•There’s NO evidence of a difference in severity between BA.2 & BA.1 (BOTH are Omicron)
•BA.2 is more transmissible than BA.1 BUT the gap is smaller than between Omicron & Delta
•Vaccines are EQUALLY effective against BA.1 & BA.2
