SYDNEY, Nov 9 (Reuters) -
Unvaccinated people are 16 times more likely to end up in intensive care units or die from COVID-19
, Australia's New South Wales state said in a report, with officials urging people to get inoculated as Australia begins to live with the coronavirus
The data from New South Wales (NSW) health department out late on Monday showed only
11% of people out of 412 who died from the Delta outbreak over four months through early October were fully vaccinated.
The average age of those deaths was 82.
Only around 3% of people in intensive care units had two doses, while more than 63% of the 61,800 cases detected between June 16 and Oct. 7 were unvaccinated.
"Young people with two doses of a vaccine experienced lower rates of infection and almost no serious disease, while those unvaccinated in this age group were at greater risk of developing COVID-19 and needing hospitalisation," NSW Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant said in a statement.
The report's findings were in line with data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which said in September that unvaccinated individuals were
11 times more likely to die from COVID-19
than those who were fully vaccinated.

Yesterday we crossed the 90% double vaccinated markI'm very proud of my own little corner of the country, which has passed the 95%
So many have booked in for their booster
The weak link is the Federal Government
- which cannot supply vaccines till NEXT YEAR
This has been quoted as roughly LATE JANUARY - though it's not a definite
I tracked down some Pfizer, 40 minutes away, in BALLARAT, Victoria
I had my booster, YESTERDAY
NO REACTION - Not even tenderness at the sight
So it's OFFICIAL
The memes and Bitchute scare campaign
- waged by the anti-vax conspiracy theorists
- has been an ABYSMAL FAILURE
A GREATER failure, than any country on EARTH
