Bivalent mRNA booster doses—which target the original coronavirus strain and some of its stronger omicron subvariants—were 56% more effective than no vaccination at preventing Covid, according to the CDC បាន.

Americans who received the boosters were 50% less likely to contract the virus than Americans who received only the primary vaccine at least 11 months earlier, and 31% less likely than those who received the primary vaccination two to four months earlier, according to the report, conducted between September 13 and November 18 in partnership with the VISION Network.

Adults who received the booster dose were 57% less likely to be hospitalized than unvaccinated adults.

They were also 38% less likely than adults who received the primary vaccination five to seven months earlier and 45% less likely than those who were administered the primary vaccination more than 11 months earlier.

Americans’ vaccination rates have remained low, with only 14.1% of Americans five years and older—more than 44 million people—who are eligible for the booster having received one as of Wednesday, according to ទិន្នន័យ CDC.
