Vaccines highly effective at preventing severe disease, death
Research shows COVID-19 vaccines remain highly effective at preventing severe disease and death six months after vaccination, including against the highly transmissible Delta variant.
"Consistently, all of the vaccines seem to be doing that with more than 90 per cent effectiveness, including with time," said Peter Collignon, an infectious diseases physician and microbiologist at the Australian National University.
"[They're] even better at reducing your risk of dying — probably a 95 to 98 per cent decreased risk."
A recent study of more than 44,000 people in Los Angeles found unvaccinated people were 29 times more likely than vaccinated people to end up hospitalised from COVID-19.
The rate of hospitalisation among vaccinated people was 1 per 100,000 people.
In Australia, we're seeing a similar pattern: the vast majority of hospitalisations and deaths from COVID-19 are occurring in unvaccinated people.
"This is currently an epidemic of the unvaccinated," Professor Collignon said.
"They're the main people getting infected, and spreading it. That's why vaccination is so important."
