The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs
Wednesday, August 18, 2021
Dear John,
In an ahead-of-print article released today, Sumedha Gupta and coauthors
highlight the relationship between vaccination rates during early
immunization campaigns and COVID-19 deaths.
Vaccines Likely Reduced COVID-19 Deaths

**** In new research, Sumedha Gupta and coauthors examined the
association between US state-level vaccination rates and COVID-19 deaths
during the first five months of vaccine availability.
The authors estimate that by May 9, 2021, the US vaccination campaign
was associated with a reduction of 139,393 COVID-19 deaths. They
identify varying impacts by state: vaccinations led to an estimated 11.7
fewer COVID-19 deaths per 10,000 adults in New York, but only 1.1 fewer
deaths per 10,000 adults in Hawaii, which observed the smallest
reduction in death toll.
"Our results suggest that further efforts to vaccinate populations
globally and in a coordinated fashion will be critical to the COVID-19
endgame," they conclude.
For more on the pandemic, find all of our COVID-19 content
on our
website.
Today on Health Affairs Blog, Liza Vertinsky argues that if we are
serious about paving the way for breakthroughs in the treatment of
Alzheimer's disease
,
we need effective public-private partnerships.
Nirosha Mahendraratnam Lederer and Stacie Dusetzina explain how the
uncertainty surrounding the accelerated approval pathway could result in
substantial spending
on products that are ultimately proven ineffective.
