JESSICA: THE variety of patients HOSPITALEDIZ IN MASSACHUSETTS FOR COVID down to 210, more than HALF utterly VACCINATED. right here TO discuss it really is DR. TODD ELLERIN, CHIEF OF IN FECTIOUS ailments AT SOUTH SHORE fitness. N:BE LET'S break THAT DOWN. here's FROM THE STATE branch OF PUBLIC health. THE number is two HUNDRED 10, DOWN FROM 0033 patients at the peak OF THE OMICRON SURGEON JANUARY, but THIS WEEK'S records, a hundred and twenty 4 have been entirely CCVAINATED WHEN infected, SO well-nigh 60%. ARYOUE surprised THAT excessive OF A percent IS in the hospital? >> not in any respect AND LET ME explain. imagine 100 percent OF americans IN MASSACHUSETTS had been VACCINATED. ANY HOSPITALIZED affected person WITH COVID can be VACCINAD but MASSACHUSETTS HAS OVER 80% OF US totally VACCINATED, these ELIGIBLE NOW. so you expect TO E SEVACCINATED americans HOSPITALIZED. right here IS THE RUB, though. if you happen to look at who is VACCINATED AND HOSPITALIZED, IT TENDS TO BE THE EXTREMES OF AGE, elderly, LSOT OF persistent clinical circumstances. THE individuals who are UNVACCINATED are often 15, 20 yes more youthful, SO younger UNVACCINATED individuals ARE BEING VACCINATED. AND TO deliver home THE point, best 18% OF individuals OF MASSACHUSETTS ARE VACCINATED, YET in case you analyze YOUR NUMBERS, forty one% OF individuals HOSPITALIZED NOW ARE UNVACCINATED, SO THE VACCINES ARE DOING WHAT WE are expecting. JESSICA: we now have noted WANTINPRG OTECTION FROM VACCINES AND PRIOR INFECTIONS. do we know how lengthy each and every ONE WILL final? DR. ELLERIN: TREHE changed into A fresh examine within the NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL posted these days, AND WTHA IT indicates,ND A WE be aware of THIS, IS THAT VACCINE EFFECTIVENESS DOES WANE OVER TIME, AND THAT'S one of the vital REASONWHY WE may should trade OUR SHIFT a little WITH goals. ATHE T VERY starting, WHEN VACCINES FIRST came OUT, WE have been hearing ninety five% useful towards an infection. those NUMBER S HAVE decreased .within the NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL, THE VARIANT OUT OF THE U.okay., EFFECTIVENESS DROPPED to six MONTHS, but I suppose THE secret's THE VACCINES ARE still WORKING SO smartly AT fighting extreme infection. I believe which will need to BE where we are searching sooner or later. BEN: lots of people were contaminated WITH COVID all through THE OMICRON SURGEON and many individuals HAD mild signs -- OMICRON SURGE and a lot of individuals HAD gentle indicators. IS IT protected FOR THESE people TO skip THE BOOSTER photographs OR now not? DRELLERI. fully not. however WE discovered an infection DOES supply IMMUNITY, A look at THIS TIME FROM ISRAEL published INHE JOURNAL, 139,000 people OMFR ISRLAE, AND very nearly, MOST were completely VACCINATED, HAD TWO DOSES OF VACCINE, AND WHAT TYHE confirmed IS THAT those that were VACCINATED on my own, there have been ABOUT54 WE three INFECTIONS, however those who were VACCINATED AND VACCINATED AND additionally infected, THEY had been much less prone to GET infected, SO WHAT DOES THAT SAY? an infection PLUS VACCINE PROTECTS better THAN just VACCINE on my own. AND again, ONE aspect TO bear in mind , WHAT YOU do not WANTOT O IS GO AND GET infected as a result of THESE studies DON'T tell ABOUT ETH MORBIDITY, COVID lengthy-time period, issues, SEPARATION, ISOLATION, things LIKE THAT, in order that, SO THE VACCINE is still THE surest approach. JESSICA: ONE closing question. I additionally want to ASK ABOUT SEASONAL allergy symptoms. TREE POLLEN IS a large problem NOW. THE FACE MASKS offer ANY type of protection? DR. ELRILE THEY really DO but it IS A DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD -- THE MASKS give protection to YOUR FACE FROM POLLEN however the EYES ARE uncovered. THE different challenge IS when you deliver THE mask again TOIN ITSELF, YOU can cause more POLLEN liberate within the home, so you are looking to be cautious OF THAT. identical to COVID, THESE RESPIRATORS truly offer protection to better THAN ETH average SURGICAL MASKS, S O MASKS DO PROTT against POLLEN, however be careful DAN comprehend it WILL now not
