People vaccinated against Covid-19 may have a lower non-Covid-19 death
rates than people who are not inoculated, according to a new research.
The
study indicated that Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine recipients had a mortality
rate of 4.2 deaths per 1,000 vaccinated people per year after the first
dose and 3.5 deaths after the second dose.
Meanwhile, Moderna
Covid-19 vaccine recipients had 3.7 deaths per 1,000 people per year
after the first dose and 3.4 deaths after the second dose.
Both the unvaccinated comparison group had a mortality rate of 11.1 deaths per 1,000 people per year.
"Despite
numerous studies showing the safety of Covid-19 vaccines, some people
have remained hesitant to get vaccinated," said lead author Stanley Xu,
PhD, of the Kaiser Permanente Southern California Department of Research
and Evaluation.
For the study, the research team evaluated the
electronic health records of 6.4 million Covid-19 vaccine recipients
compared to 4.6 million unvaccinated people with similar demographics
and geographic locations from December 14, 2020, through July 31, 2021.
The
study, published in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's
Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, looked at only
non-Covid-19-related deaths to avoid masking any safety concerns
regarding Covid-19 vaccine-related death with the protective effects of
the Covid-19 vaccine.
The Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines
require two doses for full vaccination, while the Johnson & Johnson
adenoviral vector vaccine requires only one dose.
The one-dose
and two-dose vaccines had different comparison groups due to differences
in when the vaccines were available and potential differences in the
demographics of people who chose the one or two-dose vaccines.
The research also showed that Johnson and Johnson Covid-19 vaccine recipients had 8.4 deaths per 1,000 people per year.
The unvaccinated comparison group had a mortality rate of 14.7 deaths per 1,000 people per year.
