CT detects early changes of COVID-19 pneumonia and predicts the disease prognosis based on a semiquantitative 25-point CT severity score (CT-SS). India launched its vaccination drive in January 2021 with two different vaccines being approved by the government. These vaccines are believed to prevent the disease itself, in majority of the cases and at least decrease disease severity, in the rest.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Aim\u2003This study aims to evaluate the CT-SS in vaccinated and non-vaccinated subjects who have been diagnosed with COVID-pneumonia or are COVID suspects.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Subjects and Methods\u2003A total of 3,235 patients with typical COVID-19 related imaging findings on HRCT thorax were included in the study. These subjects were divided into three age categories, 18\u201344, 45\u201359 and \u226560 years. The CT severity scores were allotted by experienced radiologists. Medians of the scores in different age groups were compared amongst vaccinated and non-vaccinated individuals using the Kruskal\u2013Wallis H test. A p-value\u2009&lt;\u20090.05 was considered significant. All results were shown with 95% confidence interval.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003The difference in the medians amongst the vaccinated and non-vaccinated groups was significant, p-values being\u2009&lt;\u20090.001 in all age categories.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003The mean CT-SS was less in vaccinated subjects and the difference in median CT-SS amongst vaccinated and non-vaccinated individuals was statistically significant, thus sending an important message that it is mandatory for the population at large to get vaccinated to reduce infection rate\/disease severity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0041-1741052","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,10]],"date-time":"2022-01-10T23:58:42Z","timestamp":1641859122000},"page":"888-892","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Getting Vaccinated Helps: Prospective Study Reveals Lower CT Severity Scores amongst COVID Vaccine Recipients"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Priscilla C.","family":"Joshi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiodiagnosis and Imaging, Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed to be University Medical College and Hospital, Pune, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vandana","family":"Jahanvi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiodiagnosis and Imaging, Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed to be University Medical College and Hospital, Pune, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mangal S.","family":"Mahajan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiodiagnosis and Imaging, Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed to be University Medical College and Hospital, Pune, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nivedita C.
