The rising death toll among vaccinated individuals is disproportionality affecting older people. According to, nearly two-thirds of vaccinated people who died during Omicron's recent wave were 75 or older, while this age group only accounted for a third of the deaths during Delta's reign.
The majority of vaccinated deaths among those 75 and older are people who have not been boosted, the newspaper further reported. According to its findings, in California and Mississippi—two of the states analyzed—three-quarters of elderly vaccinated deaths through Jan. and Feb. 2022 were among those who had not yet received a booster dose.
According to the CDC, around 50 percent of the total booster-eligible population has yet to get an additional shot, with more than 32 percent being eligible individuals over the age of 65. The agency also recently expanded vaccine guidance to allow for those in this age group to get abooster. Many officials have reiterated that elderly vaccinated individuals are most in need of additional doses.
