Fully vaccinated people were 11 times less likely to die of COVID-19 and 10 times less likely to be hospitalized since highly contagious Delta became the most common variant, US health authorities said Friday.<\/p>

\"\"<\/div>\n

The data came from one of three new papers published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, all of which underscored COVID-19 vaccines’ ongoing effectiveness against severe outcomes.<\/p>\n
