A new CDC study shows that people who got the updated bivalent COVID-19 booster ear were 14 times less likely to die from the disease than people who were never vaccinated, and three times less likely to die than those who got only the original vaccines.
Older adults saw the biggest boost of protection from the bivalent booster. The study also offered evidence that the bivalent booster's protection begins to wear off after 2 months.
In all, researchers analyzed data for more than 21 million COVID cases and 115,078 associated deaths. The data came from 23 states plus Washington, D.C., which were selected because they could provide linked data on cases, vaccinations, and deaths.
