DHHS urging Nebraskan's to get vaccinated

(KLZA)-- The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services State Epidemiologis, Dr. Matthew Donahue and his team have completed an in-depth analysis of vaccination rates correlated to hospitalizations.

The analysis concludes that individuals who received the vaccine for COVID-19, but not the booster were 11 times less likely to be hospitalized. More dramatically, individuals who got their booster shot were 46 more time less likely to be hospitalized.

Another analysis showed that vaccines are incredibly safe. Nebraska death certificate data shows Nebraskans who were vaccinated are dying at a lower rate than Nebraskans who were unvaccinated, regardless of the cause of death.

DHHS is urging all Nebraskans who have not done so already to consider getting vaccinated and receive the booster and to consult a doctor if there are questions.

You can register for the vaccine at vaccinated.ne.gov or call the hotline at 833-998-2275.
