The vaccine prevented 98 per cent of ICU visits and 94 per cent of Covid-19-related hospitalisations in the real-world study of more than 1,000 adolescents aged 12 to 18 in 23 states, published on Wednesday (Jan 12) in the New England Journal of Medicine.

......

The results show that "nearly all hospitalisations and deaths in this population could have been prevented by vaccination", Vanderbilt University Medical Centre paediatrics professor Kathryn Edwards wrote in an editorial accompanying the study.

......

the researchers found that 96 per cent of the adolescents hospitalised with Covid-19 and 99 per cent of those who received life support had not been fully vaccinated.

All seven patients who died of Covid-19 and all of the 13 patients who received a last-ditch treatment called extracorporeal membrane oxygenation were unvaccinated
