Re Australian statistics. The State of New South Whales (NSW) in Australia is the only Australian State to have published weekly Covid-19 hospitalisation & death data until the end of 2022. This reporting has now been discontinued.

Numbers are well hidden though. To find them, search any Saturday date in 2022 as a pdf. Example: to find relevant data for week ending 17th November 2022, search 20221117.pdf and open it on the website www.health.nsw.gov.au/coronavirus.

Scroll down and you’ll find Table1 of Data Overview, which includes hospitalisations by known & unknown vaccination status.

20221117.pdf: 214 (after 4 or more doses) - 114 (3 doses) - 59 (2 doses) - 4 (1 dose) - 0 (No dose) - 120 (unknown vaccination status) = 511 (total)

20221126.pdf: 249 - 142 - 80 - 6 - 3 (+129 unknown status) = 609

20221203.pdf: 296 - 170 - 85 - 8 - 0 (+138 unknown) = 697

20221210.pdf: 345 - 163 - 95 - 3 - 1 (+186 unknown) = 793

20221217.pdf: 362 - 187 - 109 - 6 - 0 (+170 unknown status) = 834

20221231.pdf (for 2 weeks): 810 - 377 - 218 - 10 - 0 (+364 unknown status) = 1,779

These numbers exclude cases in correctional settings.

From January 2023 the NSW government is no longer reporting this information as ‘[…] the trends between vaccines and outcomes cannot be interpreted using these data.’ (Ref Future Changes on page1 of the 20221231.pdf).

As for ‘unknown status’, the explanation is surprising in view of the way official records are registered in Australia.
