New Delhi: Though, Covid-19 has shackled people across the country but in a relief, scientists have found in a research that vaccinated people did not face more health complications during the omicron wave than those without the vaccine.
Moreover, vaccinated people did not require intensive care even if they tested positive for COVID-19.
The study, conducted by Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), revealed that fewer patients (4 percent) died during hospitalization in the Omicron wave, compared to 8.3 percent of patients admitted in the Delta wave. Matthew Mods, a researcher at The Cedar-Sinai Medical Center in the US, said overall, the vaccinated patients had a lower need to be admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) in the omicron wave and also less needed mechanical ventilation than delta infection.
- In a recent study published in the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, the team examined the health reports of 339 patients hospitalized during the Delta infection in Cedar-Sinai in Los Angeles from July to September 2021.The team compared that group with 737 patients admitted to the omicron wave during December 2021-January 2022.
