We showed that vaccination significantly decreased COVID-19 related hospitalisation & mortality in congenital heart disease patients, but even post-vaccine they have a higher risk of severe outcomes. Made possible by @thebhf.bsky.social Data Science Centre heart.bmj.com/content/110/... 🧬💻🫀

A graph showing that CHD cases have a higher risk of both hospitalisation & death pre-vaccination (for COVID-19). Post-vaccination the risks of both are significantly reduced, but still higher in CHD cases than controls
