We estimate the potential remaining COVID-19 hospitalisation and death burdens in 19 European countries by estimating the proportion of each country's population that has acquired immunity to severe disease through infection or vaccination. Our results suggest many European countries could still face high burdens of hospitalisations and deaths, particularly those with lower vaccination coverage, less historical transmission and/or older populations. Continued non-pharmaceutical interventions and efforts to achieve high vaccination coverage are required in these countries to limit severe COVID-19 outcomes.
我们通过估算19个欧洲国家中已通过感染或接种疫苗获得重症免疫的人口比例,来估计这些国家中潜在的剩余新冠住院和死亡负担。我们的结果表明,许多欧洲国家仍可能面临较高的住院和死亡负担,尤其是那些疫苗接种覆盖率较低、既往传播率较低和/或人口老龄化的国家。这些国家需要继续采取非药物干预措施并努力实现高疫苗接种覆盖率,以限制新冠重症后果。
