After each EUA, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) issued interim recommendations for vaccine use currently Pfizer-BioNTech is authorized and recommended for persons aged ≥12 years and Moderna and Janssen for persons aged ≥18 years ( 1– 3). With reporting from: Abeer Abu-Omar, Reema Al Othman, Géraldine Amiel, Adrianne Appel, Justin Bachman, Tripp Baltz, David R.In December 2020, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs) for Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines, and in February 2021, FDA issued an EUA for the Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) COVID-19 vaccine. The Uncoupling of Cases and Deaths in the US
The uncoupling of cases and deaths during the winter omicron wave suggested a potential end to the emergency phase of pandemic. Still, as omicron cases subsided in February, even states with some of the most restrictive covid measures began to reassess their health rules. The US suffered some of the highest rates of severe illness among its peers-with tens of thousands of vaccine-preventable deaths. Amid pandemic fatigue and fraying political discourse, vaccination rates split along political lines. The vaccination rates were similar across states and demographics, according to a Bloomberg analysis. In the early months of vaccination, Americans flocked to mass-inoculation sites set up at sport stadiums, theme parks, convention halls and race tracks. The US is administering second booster doses, which may affect the percentage of people shown with an additional shot. In December 2021, Bloomberg reported that the CDC’s data overcounts the number of people with a first dose and undercounts the number of fully vaccinated people and the number of people with boosters. It can take several days for counts to be reported through the CDC database. Prior data from the Bloomberg Covid-19 Tracker. 20 is from the CDC and includes doses administered by federal entities in state totals. Since the start of the global inoculation campaign, countries have experienced unequal access to vaccines and varying degrees of success in getting shots into people’s arms. This disparity in outcomes led health officials to dub the current phase of Covid a “pandemic of the unvaccinated.”
New, more transmissible variants caused renewed outbreaks, but in these subsequent waves, unvaccinated patients faced far higher risk of hospitalization and death. A similar pattern of vaccination and recovery was repeated across dozens of countries. The country led the world in early vaccinations, and cases declined rapidly. In early 2021, Israel was first to show that vaccines were bending the curve of Covid infections. Cases and deaths data: Johns Hopkins University. Vaccine data from Bloomberg’s Covid-19 Tracker. Locations with peak deaths of less of than 30 a day are excluded. Note: Cases and deaths are shown relative to peak rates between Jand July 1, 2021. Sudden spikes of cases from the fast-moving variant have pressured health systems, but the outlook for the average Covid patient has improved significantly. During the omicron wave, vaccination with a booster reduced the chance of hospitalization and death by more than 90%. Millions of vaccinated people have gotten sick from the omicron strain, but the shots served their most important function-preventing severe illness. Omicron proved somewhat less severe than previous variants, but it spread much faster. In countries that reached the highest levels of vaccination, death rates plummeted.Īmid this progress, the world was caught off guard when the omicron variant rose to prominence in late 2021. In total, 162 doses have been given for every 100 people around the world. The Covid-19 vaccine has changed the course of the pandemic.
