Important update: Healthcare facilities
CDC has updated select ways to operate healthcare systems effectively in response to COVID-19 vaccination. Learn more
UPDATE
Given new evidence on the B.1.617.2 (Delta) variant, CDC has updated the guidance for fully vaccinated people. CDC recommends universal indoor masking for all teachers, staff, students, and visitors to K-12 schools, regardless of vaccination status. Children should return to full-time in-person learning in the fall with layered prevention strategies in place.
UPDATE
The White House announced that vaccines will be required for international travelers coming into the United States, with an effective date of November 8, 2021. For purposes of entry into the United States, vaccines accepted will include FDA approved or authorized and WHO Emergency Use Listing vaccines. More information is available here.
UPDATE
Travel requirements to enter the United States are changing, starting November 8, 2021. More information is available here.

Vaccine Effectiveness Against Hospitalization

Footnotes: Vaccine effectiveness (VE) estimates for each platform are calculated with updated data using methods specified in the relevant publication(s) listed in the references section. Analyses are adjusted for factors* related to vaccination and to the likelihood of testing positive for the virus that causes COVID-19. Differences in estimates (over time or between platforms) might be due to differences in demographic, health and other characteristics of vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals, changes in immunity over time, changes in circulating virus variants, or a combination of these factors. By late June 2021, >99% of virus sequences were the Delta variant and by late January 2022, >99% of virus sequences were the Omicron variant; therefore, VE estimates from July–December 2021 represent VE for the Delta variant and VE estimates from January 2022–present represent VE for the Omicron variant. VE estimates prior to July 2021 represent a mix of circulating variants.
*All analyses adjust for time, region/study site, age, sex, race/ethnicity. VISION estimates also adjust for additional factors related to a person’s likelihood of vaccination.
Horizontal lines indicate average vaccine effectiveness over the months indicated; vertical lines indicate the 95% confidence interval around the vaccine effectiveness point estimate.
As of December 17, 2021, the SUPERNOVA platform has ended and will not be providing additional estimates.
