## Resource

Thanks to Marianna and DW. This would have been a better answer to the question I messed up: Two-dose Pfizer-BioNTech vaccination provides some protection against symptomatic infection with omicron, but significant protection against hospitalisation (South Africa data) 33% protection against infection with omicron, relative to the unvaccinated (down from 80% protection against infection with delta) 70% protection against hospital admission in omicron infection, relative to the unvaccinated (down from 93% protection with delta) Learn more about your ad choices.
