The vaccination program also saved the U.S. Without vaccination, there would have been nearly 120 million more COVID-19 infections, according to the new analysis. population has received at least one shot. Since the vaccine was approved near the end of 2020, more than 655 million doses have been administered and 80 percent of the U.S. The researchers relied on a computer model of COVID-19 transmission to estimate the number of deaths and hospitalizations that were prevented from December 2020 through November 2022. Results of the analysis were published by the Commonwealth Fund. That is based on a new modeling analysis conducted by a researcher at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) and her colleagues. In the two years since the first COVID-19 vaccines were given to patients in the U.S., the vaccines had the cumulative effect of preventing 18 million hospitalizations and 3 million deaths.
