- Title
Massachusetts Data on Excess Mortality During the Delta and Omicron Waves of COVID-19.
- Authors
Faust, Jeremy Samuel; Renton, Benjamin; Du, Chengan
- Abstract
This suggests that COVID-19 was a major driver of excess mortality in Massachusetts during Omicron and that highly vaccinated regions may expect relatively lower all-cause mortality rates during COVID-19 waves. One potential explanation was a higher "mortality product" during Omicron - a greater number of infections offset a possibly lower infection fatality rate, owing to higher vaccination and booster rates, immunity derived from infections, or both. Comment & Response B In Reply b Our recent Research Letter[1] showed that all-cause excess mortality in Massachusetts was higher during the Omicron wave than the Delta wave of COVID-19.
