How effective is the most recent covid vaccine?
The most recent COVID vaccine was effective at preventing hospitalizations and deaths.
That’s according to new research published in JAMA that showed the 2024-2025 COVID shot prevented 40% of hospitalizations and 79% of COVID deaths were mechanical ventilations.
Researchers say COVID-19 remains a public health threat, killing as many as 63,000 people last year.
Only about 23% of people received last year’s COVID shot.
