Throughout the pandemic, age has been the leading predictor of risk from COVID-19. Older adults continue to be the most at risk for severe complications or death from COVID-19. Compared with adults younger than age 30, the rate of death is 65 times higher for 65- to 74-year-olds; 140 times higher for those ages 75 to 84; and 340 times higher for people who are 85 years and older.

Studies released by the CDC show that vaccines — and especially the booster shot — protected most people from the worst outcomes from COVID-19, even during the Omicron surge. During the recent surge, the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna were 79 percent effective in preventing death and hospitalization requiring ventilators for people who received the initial series of two doses, and 94 percent effective for those people who had also received a booster shot, according to a new study released March 18 by the CDC. Data from two previous studies show COVID-19 vaccine boosters remain safe and continue to be highly effective against severe disease over time.
