Booster shots of the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines appear to be highly effective at preventing hospitalizations due to the Omicron variant, according to three new CDC studies published on Friday.
Data from Israel and other countries have suggested that booster shots can prevent severe illness and hospitalization, but it hasn’t been clear until now whether extra doses would have the same effect in the U.S. In the three CDC studies, researchers reviewed millions of cases and tens of thousands of hospitalizations and deaths during the Delta and Omicron waves.
, researchers analyzed nearly 10 million COVID-19 cases and more than 117,000 deaths reported at 25 state and local health departments between April and December 2021. Cases and deaths were lower among people who had received a booster dose, as compared with those who were fully vaccinated but not boosted. Cases and deaths were even lower among boosted Americans than among those who were unvaccinated.
