Americans who won the boosters were 50 percent less likely to contract the virus than Americans who only got the number one vaccine at least 11 months earlier, and 31 percent less likely than those who got the number one vaccine two to four months earlier, according to the report, conducted Sept. thirteen-Nov. 18 in partnership with VISION Network.
Adults who received the booster dose were 57% less likely to be hospitalized than unvaccinated adults.
They were also 38 percent less likely than adults who had won the number one vaccine five to seven months earlier and 45 percent less likely than those who had won the number one vaccine more than 11 months earlier.
