Three new studies by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) revealed that the best protection against the Omicron variant of Kovid-19 is third-dose vaccines.
It was stated in the studies that it was concluded that booster vaccines are the best protection method against the Omicron variant, which accounts for more than 99 percent of Kovid-19 cases in the USA.
88 THOUSAND CASE STUDYED
In the study, in which approximately 88,000 cases were examined in 10 states of the USA, it was determined that the third dose of vaccination in December 2021 and January 2022 prevented hospitalizations by 90 percent, and the protective effect decreased to 57 percent when 6 months passed after the second dose of vaccine.
The health agency’s second study, which examined more than 200,000 cases in 10 states, concluded that booster vaccines were 82 percent effective in preventing emergency room admissions from Covid-19.
In the same study, it was revealed that this could only prevent hospitalizations by 38 percent in cases who had the second dose of vaccines 6 months or earlier.
In the third study of the CDC, it was determined that while the probability of getting the Omicron variant in people who received the booster vaccine was 149 per 100 thousand, this rate increased to 255 in those who were vaccinated with two doses.
