https://twitter.com/kff/status/1437761810048946178?s=12 Based on our estimates, described below, we find preventable COVID-19 hospitalizations cost $5.7 billion from June to August in 2021. We used counts of adult hospitalizations with confirmed COVID-19 in recent months reported to HHS to estimate preventable hospitalization costs for unvaccinated adults. We focus on hospitalizations of adults (ages 18+) with COVID-19 because many children are still ineligible for the COVID-19 vaccine, and even those minors who are eligible may need parental consent to get the vaccine. We made assumptions that result in a conservative estimate of costs attributable to preventable, unvaccinated hospitalizations. Over 280,000 COVID-19 hospitalizations could have been prevented by vaccination between June to August 2021 Preventable COVID-related hospitalization costs for unvaccinated people in the U.S., June-August 2021
