Vaccination Could Have Prevented 3 In 5 U.S. Covid Deaths Since June 2021
Three in five reported COVID-19 deaths in the United States since June 2021 could have been prevented by vaccination, according to new analysis.
The Kaiser Family Foundation estimated about 234,000 lives could have been saved with timely vaccination.
Vaccine-preventable deaths represent 60% of all U.S. adult coronavirus fatalities since last summer.
That represents roughly a quarter of the more than 987,000 COVID-19 deaths nationwide since the pandemic began.
Many older and higher-risk adults in the U.S. had access to free, safe, and highly effective vaccines by the start of last year.
Doses were widely available to all adults in the country by early May 2021.
The U.S. is now approaching one million deaths from the virus.
