Tends not to require hospitalisation
That's massively understating the effects of vaccination or acquired immunity on hospitalizations for omicron. 3 doses of MRNA are 99% effective, and where it doesn't work there are often other health issues at play.
VE against hospitalization with Delta or Omicron infection after three doses was greater than 99% across the study population. Of the four patients hospitalized with Omicron infections who had received three COVID-19 vaccine doses, all were older than 60 years and had chronic diseases; one had a compromised immune system.

- svnt 5y agoThe protection for omicron is not nearly that good, especially now.
- sokoloff 5y agoGP cited data on vaccine effectiveness against hospitalization. Do you have any corresponding data that omicron hospitalization rate is over 1% among fully vaccinated? All the data I’ve seen suggests GP’s claim is accurate. https://www.healio.com/news/infectious-disease/20220201/hospitalization-rate-23-times-higher-for-unvaccinated-vs-boosted-during-omicron https://www.healio.com/news/infectious-disease/20220201/hosp...
