"In this cross-sectional study of US adults hospitalized with COVID-19 during January 2022 to April 2022 (during Omicron variant predominance), COVID-19-associated hospitalization rates were 10.5 times higher in unvaccinated persons and 2.5 times higher in vaccinated persons with no booster dose, respectively, compared with those who had received a booster dose. Compared with unvaccinated hospitalized persons, vaccinated hospitalized persons were more likely to be older and have more underlying medical conditions." |

You wish.
This is just an analysis of hospitalizations and deaths reported to the CDC by states, healthcare organizations and nursing homes.
Many states and other organizations have reported very similar numbers and I’ll be happy to post those links (again) if you wish.
Using your best source what do you think the difference in hospitalization rate was during the Omicron wave?
