An estimated 234,000 lives could have been saved with primary-series vaccination, the Kaiser Family Foundation found.
Although the share of unvaccinated adults in the U.S. has declined over time, an estimated 270,000 unvaccinated adults suffered mostly avoidable Covid-19 deaths from June 2021 to March 2022, according to KFF. A total of 389,000 U.S. adults died from Covid-19 during this time.
KFF made clear that not all Covid-19 deaths would have been prevented by vaccines, as the shots"are not 100% effective." Still, applying CDC estimates of vaccine effectiveness against death as they varied over time—from 91% for June through December 2021 to 79% for January through March 2022—researchers concluded that the lives of 234,000 U.S. adults could have been saved.
While administering first doses remains a priority, over a quarter of U.S. adults who died from Covid-19 during the first two months of 2022 were vaccinated but not boosted, and many may have been saved by a third shot, KFF noted.
