Interesting article on rates of serious coronavirus infections for vaccinated and unvaccinated.

I like to keep links to interesting articles which share what I consider to be useful information. In the following article the number of serious cases of coronavirus for vaccinated and unvaccinated people is provided.

Delta strain: Israel records spike in hospitalisations, deaths despite 78 per cent vaccination rate, Pfizer booster shots (news.com.au)

The important figures are:

For over 60 the number of serious cases is 178 per 100,000 unvaccinated people. For vaccinated people over 60 this figures is reduced to one ninth. I suspect this means approximately 20 per 100,000 serious cases for vaccinated people over 60.

For unvaccinated people under 60 the number of serious cases is 3.2 per 100,000 people.  This was a little more than double those people who had been vaccinated. I suspect this means around 1.6 people per 100,000 for vaccinated people under 60.

It would be interesting to see these age groups broken down further to see the rates per 100,000 people.
