A report by experts from the Yale School of Public Health states the intensive vaccination campaign markedly controlled the pandemic in the United States.
The study concludes that the pace at which people were vaccinated in the country has saved more than 100,000 American lives and prevented up to 450,000 hospitalizations.
Sharing these data at a routine press briefing by White House COVID-19 Response Team and Public Health Officials, COVID-19 Response Coordinator Jeff Zients warned that there will likely continue to be an increase in cases among unvaccinated Americans and in communities with low vaccination rates, particularly given the spread of the more transmissible Delta variant.
