Abstract

The outcome of COVID-19 patients once admitted to the Intensive Care Unit can be compared as to their immunization status. As a stronger immune response is very important for recovery in all medical situations. From a total number of 181 patients with COVID-19 infection admitted to the ICU that had been fully vaccinated with two doses and at least 21 days before admission, all clinical and risk factors parameters were calculated. As it turned out there was a significant fall in all complications and the mortality rate was 10% less than that expected by the SAPS3 (43%). The authors emphasize the recommendation for complete vaccination for COVID-19 having had a very significant fall in the mortality rate. Most COVID-19 vaccines are designed to elicit immune responses, ideally neutralizing antibodies (NAbs), against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.
