By August 1, 2022, the SARS-CoV-2 virus had caused over 90 million cases of COVID-19 and one million deaths in the United States. Since December 2020, SARS-CoV-2 vaccines have been a key component of US pandemic response; however, the impacts of vaccination are not easily quantified. Here, we use a dynamic county-scale metapopulation model to estimate the number of cases, hospitalizations, and deaths averted due to vaccination during the first six months of vaccine availability. We estimate that COVID-19 vaccination was associated with over 8 million fewer confirmed cases, over 120 thousand fewer deaths, and 700 thousand fewer hospitalizations during the first six months of the campaign.
截至 2022 年 8 月 1 日,SARS-CoV-2 病毒已导致美国超过 9000 万例 COVID-19 病例和 100 万人死亡。自 2020 年 12 月以来,SARS-CoV-2 疫苗一直是美国大流行应对措施的关键组成部分;然而,疫苗的效果却不容易量化。在这里,我们使用一个动态的县级元种群模型来估计在疫苗供应的头六个月中因接种疫苗而避免的病例、住院和死亡人数。我们估计,在疫苗接种运动的头六个月中,COVID-19 疫苗接种使确诊病例减少了 800 多万例,死亡人数减少了 12 万多例,住院人数减少了 70 万例。
