If you needed more proof that vaccines work, Switzerland is reporting COVID-19 deaths by vaccination/booster status.

Updated for the week of January 30th, 2022. Source for information above:

NOTE: this is PER 100,000 people.

YES, the data is AGE-STANDARDIZED to account for the different vaccination rates of older and younger individuals. Partially vaccinated NOT included. The data in all the charts is updated weekly (with the latest data available from the source).

You can click the “Change Age Group” button on the top-left to explore data for a specific age group.

•Unvaccinated means 0 doses
•Fully vaccinated means 2 doses (Moderna or Pfizer) as soon as second dose is administered (therefore no delay)
•Booster means additional dose (Moderna or Pfizer) as soon as it is administered (therefore no delay)

How do death rates from COVID-19 differ between people who are vaccinated and those who are not? Highly recommend a read.
