Ministry of Health, Singaporeput out an important set of data this week.[/font][/color]
It shows that the chance of someone infected with COVID-19 coming down with severe illness, depends a lot on age and vaccination status (there is a third factor, which is whether he/she has underlying illnesses but that is not captured in the data).
For example, from 1 May to 16 Sep 2021, no one fully vaccinated and under the age of 70 had been admitted to ICU or died from COVID-19.
A fully vaccinated person in his/her 70s has better chances of not falling very sick as an unvaccinated person in his/her 30s (0.38% vs 0.84%).
Similarly, a fully vaccinated person in his/her 80s becomes like an unvaccinated person in his/her 40s or 50s (1.79% vs 1.37%/1.94%).
