"Getting a COVID booster could save your life, even if you’ve had multiple
prior infections and vaccinations.
A study, published on Wednesday in the
New England Journal of Medicine,
showed that last season’s 2024–2025 mRNA COVID vaccines reduced people’s risk
of emergency department visits by 29 percent, their risk of hospitalizations by
39 percent and their risk of death by 64 percent. Of the nearly 300,000 U.S.
participants in the study, 35 percent received the Pfizer vaccine (COMIRNATY),
and 64 percent received the Moderna vaccine (Spikevax). According to the
study’s authors, COVID vaccination was effective in all age groups and “in
persons with or without major chronic conditions.”
The research is in line with what scientists have seen in previous years. “The
vaccine is efficacious, particularly against severe disease,” says Stanley
Perlman, a coronavirus researcher and a professor of microbiology and
immunology at the University of Iowa, who was not involved in the study. And he
and other experts expect the new 2025–2026 COVID vaccines’ performance will
follow suit. The study’s authors declined to comment on the new findings."
