They don't specify.

They looked at hospitalized cases only.

Chances are they are almost all elderly, who are 90+% vaccinated anyway.

No specific mention of very low-risk groups such as children 5-11 (which are THE lowest-risk group), and no mention of the risk-benefit tradeoff related to adverse events.

Rather, we find a blanket "everyone should get vaccinated" normative statement clouding an otherwise interesting study.
