What's New In Health Affairs

**** In new research published ahead of print this week, 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.
