The Impact of Vaccination on the Infection rate and the Severity of Covid-19
Abstract
This study aims to statistically assess the effectiveness of vaccination against SARS-CoV-2. It is indispensable to investigate the relationship between Covid-19 deadliness and vaccination in order to study the impact of vaccine in real-world. We studied rates of infection and death due to Covid-19 in different countries with respect to their levels of vaccination. People who received the required dose of vaccination were considered as fully vaccinated in this study. Based on the percentage of fully vaccinated population, countries were categorized into several groups. Though a high-level study on the vaccine effectiveness may not provide much insight for individual level differences, a global analysis is imperative to infer the influence of vaccination as a controlling measure of the pandemic.
