The CDC says vaccine protection is tumbling for older Americans


  • The CDC released new data Friday suggesting that elderly adults don't have the same protection against hospitalization as others.

  • According to one study, vaccine effectiveness against hospitalization is only 75% among adults 75+.

On Friday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shared two new data sets showing that the immunity people over age 65 got from their initial COVID-19 vaccines is possibly starting to wane.


The drop offs are most stark in people aged 75 and up, who are increasingly at risk of hospitalization or death from COVID-19, even when fully vaccinated.


The reports suggest that, although more than 80% of adults over 65 are already fully vaccinated, that may not be enough to protect them from severe disease.
